In all martial systems, resolving conflict and anticipating your opponent’s moves are paramount to victory. This is also true if you are taking legal action against a contractor in a legal battle. In Wing Tsun Kung Fu, the fight begins with preparation. Your teacher guides you and supervises your training, which gives you the security to experiment and take risks necessary to learn. If you studied Wing Tsun Kung Fu and then sued a contractor for breach of contract, you would apply this same preparation to your legal journey. It is essential that you understand the risks you are taking and anticipate the most dangerous counter-moves your opponent might play and “know your position” in the conflict. Know your side’s legal strengths and weaknesses and those of the opposing side in suing a contractor for breach of contract. You must be prepared to defend yourself based on this knowledge, or allow your attorney to be your substitute during the entire process. Once the formalities of filing a case are completed, the real work begins. Scanning the room nervously and wiping away perspiration like you did before practicing Wing Tsun Kung Fu forms or stepping out like you did before sparring, you stand before the Master and listen attentively, absorbing much like you did during class. Not only do you now face your opponent in a court of law, but the court is now your opponent. The executioner carries out the punishment of the defeated. You have now become the defendant-the risk is now yours to bear. The discipline from Wing Tsun Kung Fu will help you focus and control your nerves. In both arenas, you must concentrate on the task at hand: deep inside your head is the key to your victory. The commencement of fighting displays your vulnerabilities and reveals how you have prepared. When you are in front of the master, you almost instinctively see the opening for victory. You know what you must do. Before you sue a contractor for breach of contract, apply the same sense of focus and purpose. Read the complaint and be mentally prepared for conflict. Discipline, endurance and resilience – three vital mental qualities that you cultivate through Wing Tsun Kung Fu training. How will the master react to your attack? You pray you saw the opening correctly. You hope you make the connection you expect. Good. He knew your move. Now you are prepared to act. Its time to practice, fight or file. When suing a contractor for breach of contract, if you don’t know your opponent’s attack, you must prepare to defend. Your opening has been revealed, and the master has seen it. Be patient and let your adversary strike first, whether he is swinging a punch or a money-sucking legal complaint. Don’t let it fool you. Like a circuit, you must work hard on all connections before the current flows. Do not rush the process. If you have studied Wing Tsun Kung Fu, you know this truth. Whether you are practicing or in a real fight, if either party does not prepare properly, neither can apply the Wing Tsun Kung Fu principles. Both must prepare in order to win. There will be no victory if you and your Master are not well-prepared. If either is not well-prepared, the offense fails, the offense opens. Simplistically, you can run up and down the mat repeatedly, but unless a master supervises the process, you will not achieve mastery. You must be prepared to endure. You must be prepared to absorb. You must be prepared to recover, regroup, and start again. To achieve victory in a martial system, you must be committed for as long as it takes. To successfully sue a contractor for breach of contract, it is the same. A martial artist spends a long time doing this. Wing Tsun Kung Fu practitioners are no different. Sifu Wong Shun Leung has said that when he was in China, he would routinely allow himself to be attacked. He would let smaller opponents hit him the first four times directly on the nose, the fifth time to the temple. He had already prepared for and withstood four direct attacks, so the fifth was nothing, and it happened before his opponent expected. We say, “… your opponent never expected that strike.” That’s Wing Tsun Kung Fu. A good martial art and a very successful strategy for practice. Now, think about this in a legal context. If you are suing a contractor for breach of contract, the same principle applies. Anticipate the worst, absorb the worst, and when you are ready, go in for the kill. Preparation is key in the dojo, the training hall, or in a court of law. Like the martial artist, you must be prepared to follow-through regardless of whether you successfully struck your opponent the first time. You must be prepared at all times. Practice is carried over to the legal process, and victory is only achieved through mastering the tasks you face. It is important to remember that while martial arts is martial art, in the dojo or in court, the ‘do’ in the words ‘karate’, ‘judo’ or ‘Wing Tsun Kung Fu’ refers to the right way of living. This understanding must be applied when suing a contractor for breach of contract if you want to be victorious.
