View Full Version : going into a fight with a plan??!!
do any of you go into a fight with a gameplan?? or is it just grab ahold and throw punches? my cousin seems to think he can go into a fight thinking " punch, elbow, elbow, elbow, knee to the head, forearm" and win a fight without being hit....i cant see how you can have a gameplan, you dont really have time to think of anything, just throw punches, at least thats what i think...

the only kind of gameplan I can think of is in certain martial arts, the fighter has certain moves in a certain following order (forgot the name) they serve to get the victim in the right position to use the next move and so on. but I think that's mostly reflexes if you practice for a while.
off course, in the fight itself you'll think what you can do next, but before the fight starts, you can't make that out.

You can’t go in to a fight with a plan. Just see what they do and try and work out (very quickly) what would be most effective against it.
For example last night when I was doing kickboxing I was facing a guy that about a foot taller than me and looked a lot tougher. However every time he came into attack me I noticed he left his ribs open. So every time he came to hit me I just did a quick kick to the ribs then a couple of hits to his head.

If you know how best to react to each thing they do, I suppose that kind of counts as a plan, but you should never know exactly what you're going to do, because 9 times out of 10 it won't work.
You can go into a fight not with a plan but with a concience of what fits best to follow up your last technique. What Zip forgot might be called Kata. You might want to prepare for a fight situation by doing combos of techniques and perfectioning technique. :)

THIS IS ONE OF THE SUBJECTS I CANT CLAIM MUCH EXPERENCE IN. BUT IN MY DOZEN FIGHTS I'VE FOUND THAT FIGHTING IS LIKE POKER. EVERYONE HAS A "TELL". EVERYONE DOES SOMETHING BEFORE THEY MOUNT AN ASSAULT. RECOGNISE THAT WEIGHT SHIFT, STUTTER, OR TWITCH AND YOU CAN ANTICIPATE AN ATTACK. AT THAT POINT, KA-BAR TO THE NECK = U WIN. BE VICIOUS, BE EVIL, SHOW NO MERCY, AND HOPE THE OTHER GUY ISN'T TYSON .
