First two definitions in order to have a clear outline of the terms:
Definition of term style: a style is a form of purely personal mode of expression. That is, the starting point is always the personal point of view and interpretation of things.
Definition of term system: a system is a plot thread in which all calculable variables of a process were considered from the outset, so that the end result can be reproduced in an always consistent way (with the same quality) or in the event of any discrepancy continue to keep the result calculable.
Nowadays in the martial arts domain the terms combat style and combat system are being applied, but unfortunately almost universally incorrect and unambiguous. If the term 'combat style ' is being used, it indicates an individual and unique method of combat, being invented by one or more persons. Is the term 'combat system' being used, it indicates, that the fight method pursued has a controllable plan. The message of the term 'style' in reference to individuality and uniqueness of is being addresses on the emotional level, the message of the term 'system' to the planned methodology of the rational and predictable. Sometimes both terms are used for the same thing to approach the emotional level as well as the rational level in people - to convey that all needs are being satisfied.
Which of these two terms – combat style or combat system - gives the user a sustainability in terms of security at all? The analogy of lottery as a form of gambling is to render the possibility of a visualized reflection platform for everyone.
Before the subject is being entered on a deeper level, the question of what is the absolute basis for a logical and security-oriented action strategy must be clarified: information. If there is no information whatsoever, no coherent action is possible. Simple example: a blind man has no visual information, which offers the possibility of distance screening to everyone not blind. Thus, he is not able to prepare himself early on before the transition into the physical phase takes place. An act of physical violence cannot adequately be responded to by him.
Information is the lifeblood of every physical combat. For this appropriate read / write mechanisms must be developed. Furthermore, it is important to know, which kind of information for a physical fight is of importance and which not!
The following considerations are now being gradually built up:
An attacker, who has already undergone the psychological foreplay stage by intimidation and verbal excesses, takes up a position, that can visually be properly identified as preparation for physical combat action. What information does it provide? Depending on the personal development it can be read from his posture which arm and which are being advanced to the front, an approximate weight distribution and whether he stays on a spot or moves continuously and changing his position. That’s not pretty much here.
To the fact, that this information content is extremely small, it gets complicated as he will share no information about his further course of action. Example: he takes an aggressive pre-fighting posture, in which, for example, the left leg and left arm are advanced forward, right arm and right leg to the rear - visually similar to the posture of a boxer with left lead. Is this optical detection at the same time a guarantee that he will hit with his left arm first? Or kick with the left leg? Or a guarantee, that before he launches an attack, abruptly changes his body orientation with a shuffle step? Is there a guarantee for a 100% secure interpretation to as what will happen in near future?

Or a guarantee, that before he launches an attack, abruptly changes his body orientation with a shuffle step? Is there a guarantee for a 100% secure interpretation to as what will happen in near future?
And here the analogy to the gamble of lottery starts: at the lottery a number combination must be made up hoping and assuming that this combination will have success at the drawing. This combination must be set up days ahead of the draw. This means, a set conjecture and assumption for an event is being submitted, to what happens in the future.
Now transferring these thoughts on the previously viewed situation of the attacker, who has already taken his pre-fighting posture. The information that he gave so far, are rather sparse and give no reliability to the near future, to which the defender could adjust. This means, that a conjecture and assumption on the future acts of aggression must be submitted and one’s own line of action must be fixed - analogous as in lottery! And that with the desire and hope, that all this comes into the same line, so that the chosen physical counter action will succeed.

And that with the desire and hope, that all this comes into the same line, so that the chosen physical counter action will succeed.
If you look at the probability in lottery, the ratio comes to 1: 140.000.000. If the successful outcome is to be reproduced in a calculable way, there are only two ways: either to fill out 140 million lottery tickets or to manipulate the drawing of numbers, so that the given combination will come up. As manipulation of the draw is strictly prohibited, this option fails. To fill 140 million lottery tickets means an immense capital usage that perhaps does not fully return, because the current jackpot is less than the invested ticket capital.
Let's turn again to the option of manipulation and just assume, it could be done, it becomes clear that again millions of relevant information are necessary. So every single ball must processed by information processing technology during the draw and being constantly synchronized with all other parameters, thus enabling a full control. That manes that information must be read continuously and that also commands must be able to be returned for control (write back of information).
Returning to our combat situation it means, that defenders, which are limited to the visual perception only, play information technology lottery. This makes no sense. The possible options remaining are either escape from the situation or the panicked overreaction with total overuse of power resources, which will quickly be used up.
If this this problem is to be tackled planned and systematically, it must be structured, as addressed above, what kind of information is significant and can be influenced. Adding to this fact is, that this information can only be used, if the body is also able to read as well as to write back (to send back). And the only sense to make such information usable is perception through touch. It allows to read several different information at the same time through a single contact, to process and also to send back. An attacker who pursues the objective to make an effective attack will always produce a physical contact - even a hit is a physical contact. As the human being has the possibility to set out his arms and his legs in their full reach forward and into the trajectory of the incoming attack as an obstacle, the point of contact is being set up far in front of the actual body trunk. This systematic methodology would correspond with the analogy of lottery to the option of manipulation.
Concluding the reference to the terms combat style and combat system comes as follows: a combat style based on personal interpretation and not considering the relevant information of physical combat at all has the same status of a number combination for a lottery draw in the future. The outset is fixed in advance without having the security that the draw of the numbers will realize. The risk of loss in lottery is the one time investment of money without any further additional. The risk of loss in combat remains an incalculable without any restriction. A combat system does not like any acceptance or interpretation of the future – just loves and demands information, that are reliable in order to keep the process of the combat controllable, planned and calculable in every phase for the sake of the objective of controlling the situational security.
