Why we're called Gazing

Our name derives from the Gazing Principle, propounded by the Japanese swordsman and philosopher Musashi.

His legendary prowess, which enabled him to come unscathed through countless duels with other Samurai, was based on a "double gaze": one eye on the immediate situation (the opponent trying to kill him) and the other on the bigger picture (the state of play on the wider battle-field).

The key to success, as Musashi demonstrated, is the ability to switch constantly between the two: no point focusing on details of execution if you haven't got a clear sense of overall strategy - and vice versa.
