Sonya & Cristo
Sonya, if a disciplined fighter knows every move, can they still surprise themselves, or does that defeat the very notion of perfection?
Knowing every move gives you a base, but a true fighter still leaves room to improvise. Perfection isn’t a lock, it’s a flow—so surprises can still happen even in the most disciplined.
So you say a flawless plan still lets you improvise, but if the plan is flawless, how can improvise slip in? Is the paradox the only place for surprise?
A flawless plan is just the starting line. Once you’ve mapped every move, the real skill is staying ready to shift that map on the fly—so the surprise comes from using the plan itself differently. It’s not a paradox, just the difference between knowing every step and knowing how to skip a step when needed.
