Yeah, xingyiquan is like that. But the half-beat is one of the more simpler, narrower application of OODA. Really, the whole thing with using OODA in an adversarial setting is that you can manipulate the adversary's OODA loop, of which the half-beat is one of those methods to do so. I got exposed to Cynefin a couple months ago, and it got me thinking about how Cynefin and OODA are related. Probably the biggest thing is that Cyenfin is not necessarily about adversarial settings, and OODA can probably take different forms depending upon which Cynefin domain we are talking about. The ones that uses it in its simplist method (speed up the OODA loop) are probably working from the Simple domain, and perhaps the Complicated domain. Boyd had shown a shortened form of OODA -- and this is where it starts intersecting with the likes of Musashi, or some of the old, obscure sword fighting manuals from Europe. What's not said on there is a form of intuitive information gathering that, well, frankly, people mind find dismiss as woo.
