# USE OF THE JIU-JITSU PRINCIPLE
🔴 This principle aims at **using already existent forces and energies** by softly guiding them in the desired direction, rather than stupidly fighting and reducing them to zero with the result that we spend still more energy to obtain what we are striving for.
Quite in the manner of Asian self-defense, disturbing forces are to be turned around by **small inputs of steering energy** so that they become supporting instead.
By means of this principle via energy cascades, energy chains, catalysts, and energy coupling, nature achieved an incomparably high degree of energetic efficiency.
# Judo-Principle Utilization of existing forces e.g. Judo instead adding force, e.g. boxing.
**Precondition for Jiu-Jitsu:** Knowledge of effect-flow, meaningful interlinkage.
>NOTE: This is where changing a parameter in a reinforcing feedback loop can have large payoffs. Ask Kerry to clarify.
