In any combat situation, the interactions are unpredictable, complex, and varies instantaneously. Hence, the warrior looks upon the response movements or techniques based on the situation dynamic at any given moment to create a movement flow.

​The Pintados warrior does not respond to an attack with a single prescribed or predetermined technique. Through martial and cultural understanding, the warrior always analyzes situation, thinks two-steps ahead of his opponent and prepares a range of possibilities to execute a counter-attack as a response to multiple possibilities.
