The Proteus Trigon: A Universal Element
Proteus Trigon is the Foundation of the Defensive/Offensive of the Martial Science of Pan-Technicon
Proteus Trigon is a Greek Phrase combining the name of the Greek sea-god Proteus and the term Trigon, meaning triangle. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, with the general meaning of “versatile”, “mutable”, “capable of assuming many forms”. “Protean” has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability. Therefore, the defensive/offensive and offensive/defensive aspects of the Proteus Trigon are flexibility, versatility and adaptability. The Trigon or triangle is the shape of the hands and arms to form various triangular shapes both closed and open apex. The various forms of the triangle or Trigon function as a Blockade (sacrifice something of lesser value for, something of greater value), a block ( to stop by striking someone else’s strike or motion, a parry (deflecting, riding, traveling and re directive), evasion, and a destruction (injury to limbs, disturbance of balance, or displacement of balance) and combinations of all the above. The goal in formulating such a universal element was to aid in simplicity while providing the greatest functionality in a variety of uses. It is my belief that the more you can do with less the greater chance of success in a fight for life. What are your thoughts?
