When its time fight, what is your strategy? Do you just react? and hope for the best. That is what I have been trained to do because thinking about what your going to do can slow you down alot. 90 % of what I do is just reacting but I do have a strategy I use. There are three ways I will approach a fight, saving the third for last because I dont prefur that type of fighting. My three strategys are SPG, speed, power, and grapple. Depending on the situation I will use either speed or power first.
My speed strategy is to start off with low risk, fast moves like jabs, front snap kicks, snapping a fast round house low to high, trying to see if I hold the speed and technique advantage. Normally if a person isnt used to being hit, they will just quit or fall down thinking there hurt when there really not. I will use evasive foot work to avoid the opponent, making them miss and countering with fast one two punch combinations, not putting my wieght into it or my hips, basicly feeling them out, not really trying to hurt them, hoping they will realize they are out classed and quit if Im lucky enough for the altercation to end that easily. Most of the thuggy wannabe types will quit if they feel they have any chance of loosing. This is basicly what I do when Im sparring.
If I am fighting someone who is faster than me, or with more reach,and I am having trouble getting inside with my speed strategy, then I resort to my boxing skills, and power kicking. I will use whats most populerly known as peek a boo boxing. Hands up guarding face at all times, lots of latteral movement, and throwing bombs with very bad intentions, trying to over power the faster taller fighter with the reach advantage. Knees and elbows if possible, I will aso throw alot of low roundhouse kicks to the knee with everything I have, that tends to be an easy move to get away with.
If all else fails, Im fighting a faster, and more powerful fighter, andst cant seem to come up with a good strategy, Im taking it to the ground, man I hate to ground fight but it is such an important part of the martial arts that I have to train for it. ARMBAR, SLEEPER HOLD, BLA bla bla. If I cant do it on the ground then I guess I will just have to take my beating like a man.
What type of strategies to you guys use? and what is your professional and or honest opinion of mine?
