OMG you could write tomes on this subject!

Certainly not hard to understand, but much harder to implement.

Make your opponent react to your actions and as he is reacting to that you change and make him react again, etc. It leaves the opponent always in a state of reaction and never in action against you.

It can be done in every aspect of life from wrestling (jamming a thumb up the keister) to a courtroom (surprise witnesses (?) if that’s a thing, I watch a lot of court dramas)

In the military, an excellent example would be the ambush, so devestatingly effective your enemy shouldn’t have ANY time to react.

I always considered training like you fight, training harder than reality, and changing your tactics often as good OODA loop philosophy. Obviously it was originally a concept for pilots in a dogfight but the principals are the same.

Hopefully, we can all get more nuanced with specific subject matter examples.
