is there anything unique about how you fight? maybe your stance or a technique or style you have adopted and modified?
for me this is how i look.
Stance:
1.) when i fighting in a defensive position I'm south paw. (strong side forward)
because it gives me added power to intercept attacks from my opponent, and counter quickly and with more power.
2.) on offense I've adopted a western boxing stance (strong side in back) but I've made a couple of changes.
although i do change it up. switching from reg to south guard it just plain better. i find it gives you more of an advantage.
when in the western boxing stance my back foot isn't behind my front foot it is angled so i am more squared to my opponent for better overall balance and support. for example, if you kicked a boxer's front leg and he is in the traditional western boxing stance, he would undoubtedly topple over. Also i always maintain a low center point of gravity keeping my weight balanced on both of my feet at all times. and i am always ready to spring from the balls of my feet.
Footwork:
i use triangle footwork on defense and for most of my counterattacks, as well as for feints. triangle foot work is great for feints.
Kicks:
very rarely do i kick above the waist, and if i do it is usually a knee to the face or ribs.
my side kick and turning back kick are very strong. but from what i have learned from studying JKD is it is not practical in a real street fight, it exposes your guard, and makes you susceptible to counter attacks. therefor i do not when i train. and when i see my opponent going for shin kicks to the head or high round house kicks i sweep, trap, and throw, or almost always take them out or i am able to evade.
Punches:
i wait until the last minute to tighten my fist for added power. and i never throw wide hook punches or uppercuts those are my close range punches i find they are much more effective at close range.
i think that's it for my "Stand up"
