street fighter Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 No resent street fights, so only speaking from full contact sparring, so for what it is worth, deflection with body motion, this generally open the door for and entry, me I like to stay on my feet but do love the clinch side or center to apply knees, elbows, and takedowns if needed, headbuts, and biting, for a ground fighter who wants to fall in the street the entry will still work for them as well, but one person talked about the haymaker and with that going straight in should work. If you are a boxer well I suck at boxing and have yet to perfect the break hand with face but i am working on that. Survivor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infrazael Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 In Choy Lay Fut, virtually all of the 10 seed (10 primary hand techniques) are designed to neutralize your opponent's attacks by striking theirs at varying angles. Therefore, in our style we're very rarely "blocking" but instead, we simply strike. Strike against strike is also alot better IMO, than parrying, blocking, etc. However, in other Kung Fu such as Hung Gar, they will not only strike away, but will apply a "bridge" as well, to control their opponents, move in, and smash through.

Muaythaiboxer Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 good in theory bad in real life but if you can make it work bravo to you in my experience it is best to cover up in a boxing stance and use evasive movemints (ducking ect) and to most importantly keep your chin down.
