Win Every Contest With The Three Tricks Of Kickboxing Karate

I know, kickboxing karate isn't real, but it is a translation of arts. When you go from karate to kickboxing, or from kickboxing back to karate, you can win every single contest you are in by knowing the three things I am going to tell you here. We are dealing only with the fists, mind you, so you have to control the distance to make sure that you stay at punching range.

If you are going to try to use this information with the feet we would have to set up an art called karate tae kwon do...grin. Or, if you were going to use it with fancy trapping manuevers we might call it shaolin kickboxing. Call it anything you want, the techniques will work, but you might have to make some changes.

Before we get going I should tell you how to set up the three techniques. The set up is to have the hands extended, elbows about 135 degrees, palms facing outward, so that the hands are in front of the shoulders. This, incidentally, is a sign of peace, an 'I don't want to fight,' which is a good thing because it is better to avoid a fight.

The basic concept here is that two objects can't be in the same place in space. Go on, shove one table through another table. You'll just end up with fire wood.

First Technique, he is going to have to go around your fist and arms, and you can defend with a hard block and punch. This isn't a counter strike, this is done simultaneous with a slight body shift/sidestep maneuver. You will have taken the initiative of the fight and can follow up with an attack on the inside line.

Second technique, he is going to try shifting to the front and jabbing, and you can just pass him and pound on his body. With these two techniques he is trying to go around you, and this will set him up by shutting his weapons down, or opening his targets up. A little practice and you will be able to tell which way he is going.

Third technique, and this is the one we want to open up, is when he tries to go between your fists. He can be stopped easily, if you wish, but the potential for trapping him, simply by bringing your hands together, is large. You catch his elbow and his wrist and create an arm bar, and when he tries to back out, or otherwise get away, you elbow roll him, and you can work elbow strikes and secondary techniques, all while keeping him trapped and unable to defend himself.

This kumite technique can further be improved by shifting the body or changing the distance between the fists, thus encouraging your attacker to do exactly what you want. In other words, you will know what he is going to do, and nobody is easier to beat than a fighter who is predictable. So, there you go, that is how you actually apply matrixing concepts to the initial entry into a fight, and when you win that battle just tell everybody you were doing kickboxing karate...heh.
