Very Fast Opponent
Fast opponent are difficult to fight since you sometimes do not see what hit you.
To fight a fast opponent:
- You definitely do not want to have a speed contest. You will just end up being outscored.
- You want to attack when opponent's leg is in the air. The time it takes to put the leg down and attack a second time should be about the same or longer than the time it takes for you to throw your attack. You need to make opponent throw the kick to throw yours. Use sidesteps and fakes to avoid the kick.
- Do not just wait and get beat. You will only score if you attack. Do not just wait and get beat. You will only score if you attack.
