Developing Strategy ?

Alan Armstrong · Black Belt

Developing strategy is a good question; here is how I teach it.

1) Attack the balance.
2) Always be in a position of advantage.
3) Control or dominate the opponent.
4) Take away the opponent's space.
5) Use the element of surprise.
6) Newton's quote: When a body is in motion it has a tendency to stay in motion and when a body is at rest it has a tendency to stay at rest.

I'd say that your knowledge will dictate your strategy. As Bruce Lee said, "fear not the man that does 1000 kicks. Fear the man that does 1 kick 1000 times." You have to know what you CAN do and what is effective. That's the first step.

I'd also say that strategy could be 1 of 2 things- defensive or offensive. Are you the kind of fighter that is good at countering? If your strength is in finding openings after an opponent attacks, then you employ a counter striker/defensive strategy. Or does your speed allow you to be the kind of person that will score on a technique without having to counter? If you are the one that can use feints, fakes, etc. to dictate where the openings will be, you employ an offensive strategy. You rely on your ability to score without having to rely on the opponent to "give" you the openings when they attack. You CREATE the openings.

Developing strategies need to work for each individual.

My personal strategy is to do things in threes; probably have about three hundred thing I like do in threes.

Three lines of counter attack.
1.a) The line of attack from the opponent.
2.b) The line of intercepting that attack.
3.c) The line of striking the opponent.

Three lines of attack that change according to the opponent's defence; Left, front or right doors.
1.a) If the left door is closed I will use the front or right door.
2.b) If the right door is closed I will use the left or front door.
3.) If the front door is closed I will use both left and right doors.

There is also upstairs and downstairs that can open up many windows of opportunity; if not try the back door.

1.) Do your own Analysis of which techniques win fights and emulate them but be yourself.

2.) Perhaps you cannot succeed with all of them but the (Best three) few that do the job for you, be the greatestest you can be with them and be yourself.

3.) Train to win, easy is not an option and above all be yourself because everyone else is taken and you never know you could become better than those that you once wanted to be.
