Thanks for the link. That actually answers a few questions that I keep asking myself. The principal of non-destruction sounds a lot like the ideas behind Aikido and Hapkido, to subdue your opponent without hurting them too much. My art, TKD, is more focused on speed and striking but we also teach restraint and humility.

I do not have much time to check the systema site but do they have a contemplation of the passages in Ecclesiates 3:1-8 (" a time to every purpose under the heaven")? I would guess that this would be a divine guiding principle to help gain wisdom to know when to act accordingly as God would guide us in extreme circumstances.
