The general rule for use of the military is that is it better to keep a nation intact that to destroy it. It is better to keep an army intact than to destroy it, better to keep a division intact than to destroy it, better to keep a battalion intact than to destroy it, better to keep a unit intact than to destroy it.

Therefore those who win every battle are not really skillful-those who render others' armies helpless without fighting are the best of all- Sun Tzu The Art of War

My style? you could call it the art of fighting without fighting.

I have no fear of an opponent in front of me. I am self sufficient and they do not bother me. And should I fight or do anything, then baby you better kill me before (I get you)-Bruce Lee.
