[view image] It seems that the typical kumite stance works really well esp. when you put your hands up to cover your head and ribs. A bladed stance provide less targets for your opponent to hit and is much easier to defend against his strikes.From this stance, you can counter-punch with fast jabs (oi tsuki) alternating between his head and ribs, or cross punch (gyaku tsuki) his head/chin when your opponent try to left hook you. Of course, you must provide a visible opening (in your right chest/head) to lure in his left hook. Once your opponent launch his left hook, quickly counter with your right cross. Boom! Counter-punched and KOed (hopefully).Mix it up, mix it up! |
