Make the pattern, break the pattern

A simple game plan to set up a damaging shot.

-

If an opponent is reacting the same way to defend an attack repeatedly, other openings in their defence will present themselves.

-

By feinting the previous attack, we can draw that defensive reaction, and attack to the now open target.

-

An example would be after landing a solid cross to the body once or twice & notice they are dropping their hands to block with the elbows, we could feint a cross to the body to set up a lead hook to the head. A way of implementing this using kicks in a similar manner, would be to throw a spinning hook kick to the head after earlier landing spinning back kicks to the body.

-

Use this approach to stay one step ahead of the opponent and set up big strikes.
