Attack Methods

Direct: attack the opponent quickly with a single technique, such as back fist, jab, and front kick.

Combination: attack using a combination of strikes, such as jab-cross-hook or front-round kick.

Drawing: intentionally leave an opening in your defenses to draw opponent into making a predictable attack so you can counter attack.

Immobilization: trap one or more of your opponent's possible defenses, such as an arm or leg, and then attack.

Indirect: feint attack, wait for opponent's reaction, and then continue with the same attack.

Avoiding attacks

Avoid attacks if possible. If unavoidable, then block them. It takes less energy to avoid than to block. If you must block, it means you are within the opponents attacking zone. 

• Avoiding is less painful and less tiring, than blocking.

• Avoiding serves two purposes: you do not get bruises from blocking and you frustrate your opponent.

• Be careful in avoiding, some people have a poor sense of range and do not get clear or even move the wrong direction.

• To avoid attacks, evaluate your range from your opponent (your kicking range), evaluate your opponent's range from you (his or her kicking range), and determine in what direction and by how much you need to move. Do not move more than is required, it wastes energy and limits you counterattack options.
