Main Take Aways + things to watch for in the video-
As a smaller fighter, you must be physically strong.
On the offense - your first kick is simply to negate your opponent's front leg counter. You MUST follow up after clashing, otherwise, you're risking getting scored on without giving yourself the opportunity to score.
After the clash - You can punch, double, use your momentum and go to the head in the AMAZING way Teemujin does it. (WAY Outside Crescent Kick).
When you're too close to kick - you don't always have to shove FORWARD - Shoving UP works very effectively to displace balance, then make sure you're following up.
Defensively: Make sure you're dictating the pace of the match using some footwork and getting right on the line. Note: You don't have to go in every time, but it should look like you might to keep your opponent guessing.
If you're a taller fighter - some counters as seen in the last fight covered -
Make Sure you threaten to the head! (Alternate defensive and offensive head kicks - they have to come into it EVENTUALLY).
After the clash, make space right away.
After the clash, follow up/ expect to kick right away to throw a wrench into the offense.
After clash - if possible- close the distance immediately to where both of you are too close to kick and be ready to drop center of gravity if necessary.
