Attack from unexpected angles to disrupt their defensive positioning
Control key terrain features that provide tactical advantage
"Static targets are dead targets. Movement equals life in a tactical situation."
Tactical awareness isn't just about knowing what to do it's about thinking like a tactician. Every situation becomes a chess game where you're always three moves ahead.
In close quarters, technique beats strength, speed beats power, and mindset beats everything. Master the art of winning when weapons fail and distance disappears.
Kicking distance - Use reach advantage and mobility

Clinch work - Dirty boxing, trapping, control
Grappling - Get back to feet immediately

Every technique must serve a purpose. No wasted motion, no fancy moves—just results.
Fight the fight in front of you. Adjust range, technique, and tactics based on what works.
Eyes, throat, groin, knees - Maximum impact, minimum effort
Solar plexus, floating ribs, instep - Disabling strikes
Face, hands, shins - Set up primary attacks
"Attack the attack" - Counter-strike as they commit to their technique
There are no rules in a real fight. Use every advantage.
Prioritize inflicting damage over defense. Be the aggressor.
Assume there are always more. Fight to escape, not engage.
When all else fails, when distance collapses, when weapons are gone—your body becomes your last line of defense. Train like your life depends on it, because it does.
