Interesting... Akido. That's the one I must have been thinking of lately.

In some of my recent interactions with many people, and watching the drama between many of them, I've been realizing and beginning to understand the tactic of using other's attacks against them, by moving out of the way. When one defends themself, it only makes them weak. And I knew that this philosophy related to one or more of the martial arts. I just wasn't sure which one. And I'm finding this to work very well.

Thanks for the tip. If I do get back into martial arts I will look into this one.

And about the bowing thing, I agree with you completely. I find myself in similar situations constantly. I think this is what controlled folly is all about. We use what we can in every situation and play whatever games necessary to not get in the way of our own progress. There's no need to fight useless battles.
