Peek a boo here comes my front kick right between your elbows as your leaning forwards comming in. .

MAte really think the whole thing through you are in the most diverse fighting art next to Mma.

Your chosen fight style is so controlled or uncontrolled by knowing the ins and outs of every contact range and even the spaces or gaps left in between them all are the launch pads for what comes before or after as you move in and out of diffenernt ranges for each limb.

If you develop whatever you learn into those ranges and have yourself covered or the oppositions free limbs either covered while your going through from one stage of contact to the next or you have them off balance slightly , so they can only use one side through your control of their other side etc.

If your striking in elbow range you should be blocking with elbows and knees too at that distance.Using knees for contol or elbows for control while attacking with the other knee or elbow.

Contact ranges and distances have to be understood completly from firstly steping kicks ,to the Long striaght kick range, spining kicks into powerful lifting heel kick range into round kicks into knees .arms, jabs into swings into hooks into elbows.

Grabs and elbow strikes go together hand in hand.
But you dont see that side of the art utilized as often as it could be.

Blocking with one elbow and attack over the top of the block with the other elbow to their face in a one -two operation , covers one arm and keeps it there under the attack etc,i f you move your footwork wile you do that you can move from the inside of his arms to the outside of his arms while you do that double elbow attack,his arm is like a runway to his temple if you go from inside to outside.

Great to jam a lead knee with a well timed heel if you can time it as he swings for your leg.
Those round kicks to the legs kill otherwise and your body and head will be leaning to far forwards if you are peek a booing over one of them too!

Peek a boo and you will be killed unless your both just fighting within agreement and only with your hands.

Peek a boo style is for a reason and is to be used only within a certain framework not to be built on as a base ; unless your the next
