Re: techniques you feel aren't used enough?
Circling out. Positioning used to be import for offense and defense. Everyone wants to stand flatfooted in front of someone now and swing away, only moving at the waist for defense.
Parrying - so many fighters now lead with their face, or go into a shell. Parrying use to be a great way to offset your opponents offense and have him out of position to defend the counter.
The uppercut is slowly slipping out of use too by many fighters because they feel it exposes them and they dont get a lot of power on it because many fighters square up now and dont have their feet set right to step into it or turn at the waist to get full power on it. Its become an arm punch for a lot of pitty pat fighters.

They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
