subject: Win Every Fight With The Only Three Techniques Of Kickboxing Karate [print this page] I know, kickboxing karate isn't an art, but it is a translation. When you translate from karate to kickboxing, or from kickboxing to karate, you can win every single fight you are in by knowing the three things I am going to tell you here. We are dealing only with the hands, mind you, so you have to control your distance to make sure that you stay at punching distance.
If you are going to try to use this strategy with the feet we would have to create an art called karate tae kwon do...grin. Or, if you were going to use it with fancy arm closing tricks we might call it JKD Karate. Call it anything you want, the concepts will work, but you might have to tailor them some.
Before we get going I should tell you how to set up the three techniques. The set up is to have the hands extended, elbows about 135 degrees, palms facing outward, so that the hands are in front of the shoulders. This, incidentally, is a sign of peace, an 'I don't want to fight,' which is a good thing because it is better to avoid a fight.
The basic concept here is that two objects can't be in the same place in space. Go on, shove one table through another table. You'll just end up with fire wood.
First Technique, he is going to have to go around your mitts, and you can execute a hard block and punch. This isn't even a counter, this is done simultaneous with a slight body shift/sidestep movement. You will have taken the initiative and can follow up with an attack on the inside.
Second technique, he is going to try shifting to the front of your hands and leading with a jab, and you can just let him pass and punch on his body as you wish. With either of these two movements your opponent is trying to go around you, and this will set him up by shutting his weapons down, or opening targets up for you to hit. Either way, yo're going to have the advantage.
Third technique, and this is the one we want, is when he tries to go between your hands. He can be blocked easily, and, the potential for trapping him, simply by closing your hands, is large. You trap his elbow and his wrist and work an arm bar, and when he tries to back out, or otherwise wiggle, you elbow roll him, and you can work elbow spikes and secondary punches, all while keeping him trapped and unable to fight back.
This freestyle technique can further be enhanced by shifting the body or changing the distance between the hands, thus encouraging your attacker to do exactly what you want. In other words, you will make him totally predictable, and nobody is easier to beat than a fighter who is totally and utterly predictable. So, there you go, that is how you actually matrix the initial entry into a fight, and when you win that fight just tell everybody you were doing kickboxing karate...heh.
