Avoid mostly/almost all fights
O Sensei stressed harmony above all. What he meant is that a true martial artist can avoid mostly/almost all fights.
Hi,
Can either mostly or almost fit in the above? If not, can you explain why? Thanks.

Angliholicdoes it sound right to say "avoid mostly fights?"Not really. You don't want any adverbs between the verb and the direct object. "can mostly avoid fights", which would mean "can almost always avoid fights", is slightly better.
