Aggressive Opponent
Aggressive fighters love to attack.
To fight an aggressive opponent:
- Let him or her attack for a while, but keep sidestepping or clinching.
- You may also counter immediately after the sidestep, and then clinch.
- Use reverse punch to knock him or her off balance.
- Keep opponent wasting his or her energy and losing points.
- Use lots of fakes to keep opponent paranoid and moving.
- An opponent who kicks too much is often standing on one leg. Knock him or her off balance with a linear kick and counter while he or she is attacking.
- Remember, the majority of points are from countering.
