How you project yourself on the field is important, and it is something you can learn. It is also something that comes from within, and I think it can be a reflection of your honor, philosophy of fighting, and drive.

I believe they are (in no particular order):
1) Body awareness (kinesthetic sense)
2) Stances
3) Grips
4) Attacks (chops, wraps, stabs, etc.)
5) Defense (blocks, parries, ripostes, etc.)
6) Footwork
7) Power generation

Are you saying these two things aren't mutually exclusive? Because I'll tell you that 99% of the time I have a very positive attitude on the field. My projected attitude is pretty much the opposite of that, I **** love slaying *.

8 ) Attitude & mentality

(dane) I disagree. Attitude goes a long way when fighting red. I'd even go as far as saying its one of the most important skillz fighting a with a red.
I wouldn't include attitude, as it's not something that can be taught as a fundamental skill.

I guess it depends on what we are calling fundamentals. Kyrian, are we talking fundamentals for new fighters to learn, or skills all fighters should have?
