It is as if the Tiger stylist seeks to create an encyclopedia of combination techniques, comprised of at least three separate moves but still learned as if they were a single continuous technique, each of which is represented by a letter of the alphabet. If a combat situation arises, then all the Tiger stylist need do is mentally push the letter button of choice and the corresponding combination technique is unthinkingly and mechanically executed. For the Tiger, these intangibles are the elements of discipline and intention. Discipline is almost too obvious to mention. Without a commitment to rigorous physical conditioning and without honestly engaging oneself in an attempt to learn new modes of behavior, nothing is gained.
Intention means a settled direction of the mind toward the doing of a given action.
The Tiger is completely intentional. The prearranged character of the Tiger's combat response, presupposes this kind of intentionality. But this attitude transcends this obvious level. Such intent meant that the Tiger' s mind is fixed and attentive, he had both a specific purpose and aim. His intentionality indicates an initial mental visualization of his intended weapon striking his intended target followed by the actual occurrence of this event.
