The Central Path

What do I do next?

Every positional perspective has a goal and a sequence of priorities. The Central Path is that sequence: a practical way to decide what to address first, what to pursue next, and where to go if your opponent changes the situation.

It helps you see more than a list of possible moves. You learn how one action sets up another, how resistance can reveal an opening, and how to return to your plan when a step breaks down.

Know your next action and how to continue when your opponent resists.

The framework in his own words — the goal, the arrow, the philosophy, and the attack strategy.

The Central Path: my goal while fighting — avoid damage, don't get hit, don't get finished, don't inflict unnecessary damage, finish fights ASAP, don't fight with anger.
