Blitzer
Blitzers rush in aggressively throwing dozens of punches and kicks. Blitzers are often punchers who are too impatient to wait for opponents to come in. Similar to punchers, blitzers tend to be big and strong, except they are very fast. They throw every technique known, trying to intimidate or drive the opponent out of the ring. If you are surprised by the speed and intensity of a blitz, you will not be able to block effectively or mount your own attack. Blitzing looks exciting and may impress judges.
To fight a blitzer:
- When the blitzers attack, quickly side step the attack, similar to a bullfighter, and nail them as they pass by.
- Make them look clumsy so they do not impress anyone. Make them look clumsy so they do not impress anyone
