Evasion, take the spark outta their eyes...

[Angus]

 

 

During my boxing training in particular i learned how to avoid punches quite well. By simply sidestepping, moving back, and essentially dodging the wild blows of an attacker u can take the spark out of their attack and leave them breathless. Some may even stop attacking after a few swings and take a second look at their situation. U might win a fight by doing something as simple as moving out of the way.

 

I use evasion, rather than blocking, as my main form of defense, and by doing this the guy has to move to u as well as attcking (which spends even more energy).

 

Quite a good tactic, what do u lot reckon?

We call it Taisabaki(body evasion),

 

It comes in very handy for kumite and basic one step.I just love it.So much you could do when your outside your opponent.My favourite is a roundhouse kick to the neck!

roundhose to the neck..that make you stop and say what am i doin here....lol

Yeah, retaliation is always the way to go, but do u reckon that u copuld evade forever? Or long enough to puff the guy out? I might try that when i have a freestyle training session with one of my mates next, just get him to try and hit me while i evade (not so far as to be constantly moving away from him, but just enough for me to avoid his hits). No retaliating, just evading.

Yeah,thats a good prospect,I also don't believe that retaliation is always the best key.It depends on the type of opponent that you are fighting.Say for example if you are fighting a german weightlifting world champion,you might want not to attack back for he has a high pain threshold.You could do two things,

 

1)RUN YOUR ASS OFF

 

2)STAY AND EVADE FOREVER

evade until you get the knock out punch

[kicker]

its our style of fighting that you like best and if you like it that way well keep on doing it that way i like to sometimes block for a while then counter on them or like move around really fast and dodge there attacks!!

[g]

u dont have to move fast just get the timing and its easy to dodge punchs. u can also dodge and jab(not powerfully but enough to paw them off) which is much easier than block and counter or block and lock

[moobrack]

yeah,if you keep jabbing them in a certain spot for a while they will eventually drop in pain. The kidneys are a good spot to jab,if you can get the open shot.

There is a French martial art called Savate, which is quite similar to kickboxing, except that the defense is ducking and diving, not blocking.

 

I've only seen it in action on videos, and it looks quite funny )
