A collection of rules Dash tries to live by. The rules are ordered into different groups, each group governing another aspect of life.
Rules Of Life Day-to-day life
- Balance is everything.
- Speed is everything, too.
- Form follows function.
- Respect others, but don't let yourself be set aside.
- When you do something, don't do it half-heartedly. Don't overdo it, either.
- No means no. Don't beg, don't nag. Respect boundaries.
- Don't say no unless you mean it.
- If someone asks for a good beating in the face, you oblige them.
- If you have to run, you run.
- Shine, shine! Shine like a star. Shining so bright, like the star that you are!
- Know who's boss. It's you, because you shine! It's okay if others don't realize that yet, because they will...
- Don't brag. You know you're the best.

Rules Of The Fight Serious fights
- You do not talk about the fight.
- You do not talk about the fight.
- You don't only depend on your weapons. You know how to use your body as a weapon too.
- When you fight, you fight like there ain't no tomorrow, or there pretty much ain't none for you.
- In gunfights, you use the double tap and the mozambique drill techniques. Ammo is cheap, but your life is a once only deal and your opponent means to get it from you.
- In a fight nobody's innocent. He looks at you funny? Means he's guilty. He gets in your way? Double guilty. He owes you money? Guilty. You owe him money? Triple guilty.
- It don't matter if the fight is fair. It matters that you win.
- You dictate the terms of the fight. You ain't above bringing knifes to a fist fight, guns to a knife fight, or disarming your opponent and turning a gun fight into an ordinary brawl. You dictate the terms.
- You fight quickly and efficiently. Maybe things get messy, maybe it don't look gracious. That's okay, it ain't no gorram beauty contest.

Rules Of The Mat On the sparring mats
- Respect: •your partner; •your own and your partner's safety; •your personal hygiene; •the mat, you leave it like you found it.
- Never on the mat: •footwear; •jewelry; •piercings; •other hard or sharp items on your body.
- If either partner says stop, taps out, breaks a bone, or bleeds, the session ends.
- It don't matter if you win. What matters is what is learnt. Learn by teaching, if you can. Build experience, either your own or your partner's or both.
- It don't matter if you win, this ain't a gorram competition. It matters that you show good sportsmanship. Don't be a sore loser. Don't be a bad winner either.
The next ones are guidelines rather than rules.
- Fight fair and honorable, but pose a challenge. Remember that you may be more, less, or differently experienced that your partner.
- Don't bring (makeshift) weapons onto the mat, unless explicitely cleared by both partners.
- No attacks to the groin or crotch.
- Give your fallen partner time to get back on his feet and prepare to continue.
