I have broken down a fight into 3 phases, each of equal importance. I will explain what each phase is, and the methods for implementing each phases tactics. First we have to enter. If we do not enter in a street fight , we cannot get into the most lethal range to terminate the fight, where we can use our headbutts , knees and elbows. Everything starts from the entry. Most martial artists kink, punch or grapple. When they're in long range they are going to be throwing bombs at us. We absolutely dont want to trade bombs with people, it will not work, especially if our opponenent is larger or stronger. It doesnt matter what style he practices, hard style, soft style, circular, linear, we cannot trade bombs. To enter we have to either intercept or destroy. An interception and a destruction have one thing in common, inflicting instantaneous pain.
Once the opponent has been subject to the pain of an interception or destruction, we then go into pressure. Pressure is probably the most important facet of our game plan. The pressure comes from the art of wing chun and borrows from a technique called jik chun choy, or opponent is running backward, he has lost his ability to hurt you. Now that your opponent feels this incredible pressure,(the 50 yard dash down his centerline) it is time to terminate the fight. This is accomplished by using the three most barbaric tools on the human body: the knees, the elbows and the headbutt, which will instantly render an attacker useless.
