I remember watching Twins a long time ago and the thing that struck me were these Rules in a Crisis Situation that Julius (Arnold Schwarzenegger) keeps sprinkling throughout the movie. So I googled for the script and I found those rules. Here they are:
Rule 1: Negotiate first, attack last.
Julius: "You never negotiated. You don't know what kind of enemy I am."
Rule 2: If you choose to bluff, you must be prepared to have your bluff called.
Rule 3: Duck.
When asked by Vince (Danny DeVito): How many of those... rules do you have?
Julius replies: Quite a few. They were formulated by a Kendo swordsman in the 17th century, but their philosophical underpinnings can be applied to many other areas of life.
hmm...

That would be "Kenjitsu Swordman" actually. Or more probably just 'swordman' should be enough
Excellent! Thank you. I wondered about this too.
Thank you for your blog. It inspires me to get out of my comfort zone.. deeply entrenched!
I like the 3rd rule.
