KARATE'S SEAMLESS ASSAULT

[Kung Fu Wang115 145]

When you step your opponent can step,

You are right! If I step in and you step back, none of my attacks will land on you. This is why the best time for me to step in is when you also try to step in.

-><- is better than ->->

During a head on collision, even if I may create a hole, since the time is too short (may be 1/4 second), it may be difficult for you to take advantage on it.

In theory, to take advantage on the hole,

1. case -> -> , you may have 1 second.
2. case -> - , you may have 1/2 second.
3. case -> <- . you may have 1/4 second.

No, it doesn’t. It’s discussing taking one step like in the OP which takes a full step. When you step your opponent can step, move and/or counter as Steve Golden demonstrates in my post #2, unless you control the opponent first like with a "jab."

Timing is crucial

 

[Senpuu Ryu]

Kyo and Kime should be the answer. Very crucial with your combat.
