We have a little saying in our clubs "fair exchange is no robbery"
this refers to hit for hit, the other person counters with a hit of
there own even though they failed to defend from it. We teach to
look for openings when your attacker is pummelling you, as this is
when your attacker is most venerable to attack.

If you are not getting hit then you are not in a fight and the way
you train for the fight must reflect this. I wish it was possible
to block the first attack every time and land your opponent on the
floor with a devastating counter, but fights are unorganised and
unpredictable events.

I think taking body shots is just the tip of the iceberg so keep on
looking deeper and let us know what you find down there.

Keep kicking Trev.

I've never seen anything to teach drills starting with nonstriking

other drills as far as I'm concerned
