Many hours of slow and deliberate training are required to perfect technique. The emphasis should be placed on
sharp and smooth execution. The hands, feet, elbows, and knees are the striking tools. When executing
techniques, their movement should precede the movement of the trunk of the body. This prevents telegraphing the
technique to the opponent. Your eyes are also often guilty of telegraphing. A steady controlled gaze will not give
an opponent the opportunity to anticipate your next move or strike.

Learn to fight from instinct. Do not react from fear or anger. Do not freeze or go wild. You cannot expect an
opponent to react to a technique in a predetermined manner. Your ability to deal with the unexpected could mean
the difference between victory or defeat, escape or injury, or possibly even life or death. Through training and
practice, the instinct will come. There is no substitute for practice.

Your body size and composition may determine the techniques that will work best for yourself. Your age and
physical condition may determine how you will use them. Speed is extremely important with all kicks, punches,
strikes, and blocks. Fight your opponent at the distance most comfortable for you. The technique you use may
depend on your reach. You should use jamming techniques, slip punches, and counter. Speed is extremely
important when fighting inside an opponent's reach.

Your attitude must be positive. Your mind must be totally absent of any thought except that of your opponent.
Let your instinct direct your actions and reactions. Your eyes are the windows to your mind. Do not lock yours
eyes on any single part of your opponent. Look at his whole body at once. Do not anticipate a strike or kick by
widening your eyes or directing your eyes to your target. Clear your mind of all distractions and fight from
instinct only.

Technique does not have to be flashy to be effective. Jump kicks or spinning kicks are only effective when
properly set up and executed with tremendous speed. Use techniques you can use with confidence. Never let
your opponent psyche you out with flashy movements or intimidate you with loud demanding shouts.

The stance is important because it is the foundation for all of your offensive and defensive techniques. Keep the
body ata forty-five degree angle from your opponent. This minimizes the exposure of your body to your opponent
and therefore reduces their target area. At the same time, this will increase the speed at which you can deliver
back kicks, back fists, and reverse punches. Never allow your stance to become rigid. Keep some part of your
body moving at all times.

Attempt to distract your opponent to provide the opportunity to deliver a punch, strike, or kick when unexpected.
Alternate the use of the hands and feet to keep your opponent guessing as to your next move. Fakes with the
hands and feet then provide a double threat. Learning to set up an opponent with both hand and foot techniques is
very important. This allows you to comprehend against faster opponents and works good against everyone. Fakes
should be executed as if they were techniques intended to be completed so that your opponent will respect all
punches, strikes, and kicks presented. Use broken rhythm to throw opponents off guard.
