Exactly, that is why true oriental martial arts are defensive in nature. The opponent is at the weakest when he attacks.
When he was doing well,this is what I had Andrew doing in the Dumas fight,unfortunatly he didnt stay with the game plan I wrote for him.
The game plan was when Dumas rushed him,to either pop the jab in to his nose(he did break it) or step to the side and hook him,letting Dumas's momentum help the damage.
It worked when he followed it,but when he panicked and reverted.....................
You mean you train these pros, that's cool. I don't watch much of these martial arts stuffs but I know what you mean. It's really difficult to keep your focus because in actual combat, psychological aspects come in to play almost as much as the physical ones. Your boy needs some mental training to build up his focus and confidence. I see lots of these boys who're really good during training but becoming tentative on the ring, but who can blame them, right? What's most important is to keep your feet firmly on the ground and the when the opportunity arises, attack with full force - no in-betweens - and getting back into firm ground as quickly as possible for the next counter-attack.
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.
