    Default 18 Basic Fighting Tactics

    18 Basic Fighting Tactics

    http://www.kungfu.cc/tactics.shtmlÂ



    Sticking

    Upon contact, stick to your opponent. This lets you take advantage of a number of things: sensitivity, control, qinna, etc.

    Sensing

    Strive to feel your opponent's next move, before or as it happens. You can accomplish this either physically or by anticipating it.

    Flowing

    Maintain an effortless flow. Each technique should flow into the next, adding power with each transition. You should also flow with your opponent's moves in the same manner.

    Crossing

    Close your opponent off. This effectively crosses them up so that they may not have an easy counter attack while they are exposed to your attacks.

    Tieing

    When possible, tie your opponent up with his own limbs. This is an extension of Closing, but can involve qinna and multiple limbs, as well.

    Unbalancing

    Keep your opponent off-balance. To control your opponent and defeat them almost at will, stealing their balance (both physically and mentally) is a must.

    Baiting

    Make your opponent do what you want by making certain actions seem attractive to them; give only the appearance of openings.

    Pre-empting

    When possible, beat them to the attack while they're starting to prepare for it. Why wait for them to execute their attack or get near finishing it, when you saw the preparation for it in the first place?

    Dominating

    Press your opponent at all times, dominating them. Do not let up until the situation is well in hand. (Do not just stop attacking after a single move succeeds.)

    Yielding

    Sometimes it's better to go with your opponent's movements, at least part of the way. That way, you can take advantage of their momentum, their intent and/or their focus and gain the upper hand.

    Opening

    Use your own opening/expanding to generate power, pushing off the very ground you stand upon. Basically, hit them with the biggest thing around, the Earth, while adding what you can.

    Closing

    Use your own weight and ability to contract to add to your power. This is the counterpart and complement to Opening.

    Twisting

    Use the power of your hips and legs by twisting. Use this to add power to your techniques, and use it to dissolve your opponent's.

    Sinking Elbows

    Keep your elbows down, relaxed and sunk. Use this to add power to your techniques, and to provide that extra protection of cover for your middle and high gates.

    Maneuvering

    Use your footwork to give you the advantage. Often, this means stepping off-line in such a manner as to close the opponent off and give you effective targets.

    Timing

    Take advantage of your opponent's timing and refine your own so that he can not do the same to you. You must stay alert and relaxed to apply this to the fullest.

    Breathing

    Use your breathing patterns to add power to your own movements and absorb your opponent's strikes. Timing and coordination are paramount here, as are relaxation and keeping a level head.

    Synthesis

    Combine Applications, Attitudes, and Tactics to enhance your fighting ability. Don't depend upon a single principle or movement alone to work, or even several in sequence. Combine them.

    Again, these are just the most basic tactics which should be present. Each style has its own refinements and additions to these, as well as counters.

    I haven't learnt any kung-fu/martial arts...except for what I've taught myself from reading, understanding and observing and I posted this cause I think boxing is just another branch of the whole picture - need to know stuff


    Let me give the educated definition of QINNA found here http://www.waydragon.com/KFElements/KE-Introduction.htm

    Na is short for qinna, which literally means to seize and to capture. The objective of qinna is to control one section of the opponent’s body to immobilize the opponent's entire body; or to escape and counter control your opponent. The proper application of qinna allows you to subdue your opponent without having to injure your opponent. It also gives you the option to seriously injure your opponent when the situation requires such a measure.

    Ah ha, thanks.
    Then mAybe the only thing a boxer could use from qinna is to thread an arm through an opponents arm and twist out?

    Ive often wondered what the reaction of a boxer would be to having both his pinned at the elbows temporarily?
    I know in Kung fu you drop both your gloves down into their elbow points as you side step away from their instant retaliation of front kicking you.
    This gives you an oppertunity of following their arms through the path of their own reactions and then you slam up an opening once you feel it happen or slip their reaction with you arm and go up that opening.

    Its fun to follow someones reactions as their arms move instinctivley after you stop them dead and hold contact slightly, you follow the path with your glove on their elbow points and control them until you either move in a situation to pin and strike or they do for you.

    I recon it could be done with more sucess in boxing because you dont have to think about the feet or knees or elbows as a threat when in that close.
