Anybody else? Looking for specifics, too.

Real confrontation: Create an escape route and use it. Not possible, get to the back, KHTFO by any means available.

Practice or competition: Use footwork to get to back, upset his base, submit or control through combination of chokes/strikes/joint locks (BJJ or Chin Na).

That's all I got,

Well, in general, I try to find and exploit my opponents openings and weaknesses. For example, if they are poor at striking, I'll use striking and vice versa. In the case that my opponent doesn't show any weaknesses or any openings, I create them through various sneaky tactics. As such, my tactics vary from poking at my opponent's defenses, to feinting strikes and other deception, to charging in full speed when I think it's appropriate. I suppose my biggest weakness here is poor judgment in what strategy to use; in my own instructor's words, the thing I lack most is experience.

I suppose I use this approach because it's the way I've always been trained, my instructors have always tended to think in the same way I do. Most people who I train with think I'm just plain mean hearted.

In terms of self defense, I am of the belief that prevention is better than cure.

My main objective is surprise. If they don't see it coming, they can't defend and its all over before it began. If you know its going to happen, get in first and fast.

The good ol' sucker punch huh? Subtle.

Great job there MASTERforge, lol!

(Don't you just love it when noobs ZOOM in from Oblivion, slam something that probably don't have the slightest clue about and then zoom back off? I know I do!)

Next time MASTERforge, make sure you specify who you are talking to. Then when you're responding, also make sure that it has something remotely to do with the thread (maybe)! And and in the process, try not to lay blanket statements down on folks, k?

Thanks. Have a great life.
