Offensive Strategy
Offensive strategy is a plan to score on an opponent while preventing him or her from scoring on you. It is most commonly applied with forward footwork and explosive movements. To be successful, offensive skills must be executed with good timing and range assessment. Offensive methods include:
Direct Attack. An attack made with an initial movement toward opponent.
-
Static. Range that is ideal for kicks or punches with movement.
-
Reach. Range is such that attacker must lean or reach forward. Feign first to distract from attack.
-
Moving. Range is such that attacker must move the body to execute the attack. Must be quick and not telegraph movement.
