A recent posting on the sub-categories of a martial system got me to thinking about this quote by an unknown, shame as I would like to know who inspired it. The sub-categories are symbolized by the chain and the links are those sub-categories. This metaphor tells me that all the links must be learned, trained and practiced to make the chain strong. The entire set of links, like a tribe; team; society, make up its strength and ensure its survival. It is a metaphor for survival for that weak link can result in a broken chain.
When you exploit a weak link in a perimeter you allow a threat to enter in and do damage. You need to build a strong perimeter where all the chain links are strong and none are exploitable - the fundamental principles of martial systems dictates this is so.
What is the weakest link in the martial system chain? If I had to name one, it is knowledge.
