Tsunami claims to have a policy of mercy, stating the dictum that 'in a fight situation, one should gouge one eye, not two.'
The style has been influenced considerably by street fighting and also pays attention to specific facial expressions; it claims that often a fight can be won merely on the merits of the facial expressions of the fighter. These expressions are completely different from the expressions of normal people involved in a fight.
This style has a focus on the use of untraditional weapons specifically for Poles: a sickle, a shovel etc.
