It that considered as "equality first"?

Often in combative competition there is a desire to overwhelm the opponent immediately, to skip to the end of the engagement. In those first moments of interaction, whether remotely or through direct contact, there is a temptation towards rushing into application. I have found that, while it is possible that you were correct in your measurement by chance or habit and that on contact you take the advantage, without taking the moment to equalize with your opponent you can never be sure. If you begin by equalizing or balancing with your opponent, you can be sure that any action of yours can potentially tip the scales, can take the advantage. . . .
