Jujitsu's Mountain Man: My Way of Strategy Forged by Nature

By Ty Cunningham

"In death ground, fight." (Griffith 1963, 111) -Sun TzuThis book Jujitsu's Mountain Man: My Way of Strategy Forged by Nature is about the way of strategy as was told to me by nature herself, guided by my father's teachings, and applied as I have been tempered through the wildness nature has pronounced upon me. I have lived my whole life from the age of three learning about the way of strategy in order to command natural laws for the "moment that battle is joined on death ground," or what I have named "Ground Zero Survival." It has been a lifetime pursuit that has lifted me to the highest levels of warriorship in the martial arts. However, because of my employment within the federal government as a soldier in the U.S. Army and law enforcement officer in the U.S. Marshals Service, I was unavailable to teach publicly due to my official duties.Now, retired from federal service, it is time for me to speak out and add my words to the rest of the masters of the martial arts worldwide. As one author so eloquently described, as why Miyamoto Musashi did not write until the end of his life, I too have put off the pen until after my retirement, having used the skill to stay alive now for near fifty years."Someone who practices a martial art in depth and trains every day to the point of exhaustion has a tendency to develop a relationship with words that becomes prosaic or perfunctory at the same time as the intuitive aspect of his participation grows; he will tend to distance himself from long-winded objective reflection. He develops an intuition that can find a profound or manifold meaning in a single expression or a single ideogram. The sense of fullness that comes from these intensive physical exercises reduces the amplitude of logical sequences. It is only when the sensation of fullness is realized through a stable treading of the way, that the words will become more tangible." (Tokitsu 2005, xv)This book is about the way of strategy as I have practiced it and tested it in real-life dangerous encounters with animals as a boy growing up in arguably the most deadly environment (Alaska) on the planet, and against humans who have fought against the established "rule of law" that society has deemed necessary to protect life. Therefore, this book is about nature's order of justice should a person choose to bring harm against another to make them extinct "on death ground" through application of deadly force.This book is salient truth to what the underpinnings to personal survival in battle are, and how to attain it through your own personal efforts, or what I call- the Garyujutsu, the self-taught method. This is self-knowledge, and really when you look deeply within yourself, this is the only knowledge that exists in our individual engagement in the universe. In terms of life and death, this has and always will be the only way to true preparedness should anyone be selected for extinction at the hands of evil people. From the beginning of human existence, nature has required this standard in order to preserve the life of animal and human. It cannot be changed by the rest of the world, who build and disguise tactics as "the" way of strategy. All this effort, all though plausible to pass time in living life, is truly "chasing after failed methods." This is why I have chosen this time to tell the true way of nature's order within this book. It is necessary more today than ever because most systems the world over have thrown a "red herring" logical fallacy as to what it truly takes to survive a deadly encounter at extreme close combat contact (EC-3) range.
