It is strange how often martial artists DON'T train to deal with what are the most common attacks they will face. Instead they train for what other martial artists will do. Most attackers will swing full force, off balance and likely crash into you even if they miss. Or they will just fire punches with both hands, cuffing style, hoping one will land . I used to live on a street with about 10 bars, saw LOTS of fights . Never saw anybody throw a clean sharp punch . Just flailing until the first man landed and it was over . Never saw a clean take down . Just sloppy attempts at headlocks, tripping and falling, then either the crowd broke it up, or dudes started kicking one of the downed fighters in the head . THATS what we should focus on .

The elbows and knees, being stronger than fists and feet, I've always thought it would be interesting to develop a martial art that consists pretty much only of elbow, knee and headbutt strikes, even if the defender has to spin 180 degrees and administer the elbow strikes/blows with his/her back to the attacker to maximize power. KEEP ON GROWING, AIKIDOFLOWERS!

That's a beautiful move and it looks like it can be deployed even before that hey maker starts it's journey.

I learned to move inside When somebody is winding up through sparring. It wor.

People do four things: 1) They blade their body while they’re prepping for conflict, so they don’t actually have to wind up once they decide to swing. And / Or, 2) They duck their head offline before swinging. Like an amateur version of slipping. It’s just a natural flinch, plus self protection. 3) They grab hold of you first. Hockey Haymakers. 4) They jump into the punch, trying to get more power and throw their body weight into it. Just like Tyson. The side effect is, it makes the punch cover a lot more distance, a lot faster than visually seems possible. One drill I use to do with my seniors is stand at opposite ends of a living room, and then the attacker closes the distance as quickly as possible with as little telegraph as possible. People are always shocked at how fast the gap closes.

As you guys know there is an inside and outside technique for the same technique, and one is more appropriate than the other depending on the situation. I think the 1st technique is good in a tight space like a crowded area, where the second technique is good in an open space.
