Principles of attacks. We have a tool such as a hammer. Certain technique can be done with the hammer, this type of punching and hammering, and that one can be done in many, many variations. The fist is an example for a tool, and with this tool, with this fist we can do a certain technique such as the straight punch. The straight punch can be done in different variations, combinations, different heights, attack with the left, attack with the right, advance, retreat, defend and attack, attack in different combinations with other attacks, and in many, many other options. Attacks can be straight and circular.
We have five plus one major directions of attacks. Two horizontal, to the left and to the right, two vertical, up and down, and straight in and straight out. The same thing can be done with the legs, meaning we have upwards and downwards kicks to the left and to the right, inward and outward, and straight forward. Maybe not all the kicks are extremely practical for all situation in the street, but these are the main possibilities. Naturally we also have all variations, meaning all different angles, all diagonals. Three striking distances: the long one with kicks. The middle distance is a distance of the punches, the straight punches, the length of the arm. The short distance for strikes is suitable for elbows, hammers, knees, uppercuts, headbutt and so on.
Series of attacks. Attacking while covering the distances from the long, through the middle, to the short distance.
B. Ready Stances and Movements
Notes: Punches are first practiced from a semi-passive stance;
later from a general ready stance. Practitioner should understand
principles of attacks and proper way to make a fist.
F. Kicks
Note: Kicks should be taught first from the passive stance, later from other stances.
G. Combinations Using Learned Attacks
General Note: Emphasize recoiling in all attacks (especially straight punches and regular kicks).
