Mental fighting skills are just as important as physical skills when it comes to winning a fight. These skills can include strategies and techniques that involve psychology, such as understanding your opponent’s weakness and vulnerabilities. They also involve the ability to stay calm under pressure and make smart decisions in the heat of the moment.

FIght small and make your taller opponent come down to your level. This is done by crouching with the knees slightly bent. This forces your opponent to match your height and actually puts him at a disadvantage.

Aim to con the taller opponent into throwing a jab, from there you can either move under it or slip to the side and counter. Your aim should be to approach your opponent, either directly or from a narrow-angle, and move under the lead punch and attack the body.

UNDERSTANDING RHYTMS.
In fighting, you can use rhythm to your advantage by changing it constantly. This will mess with your opponent's ability to time both his offense and his defense.

Aim to con the taller opponent into throwing a jab, from there you can either move under it or slip to the side and counter. Your aim should be to approach your opponent, either directly or from a narrow-angle, and move under the lead punch and attack the body.

Key aspect of fighting taller fighters is to move constantly, particularly lateral movement. You can’t stay static in front of a taller opponent. That’s just going to give him a chance to catch you. Being the smaller man, you need to have superior mobility, and use your movement to run circles around your larger foe.

Taller fighters have a hard time keeping up with smaller fighters, especially where movement and footwork is concerned
Last but not least, don’t forget your combinations when you attempt to enter optimal range. Combination punching while moving forward is key against taller fighters who will attempt to keep you on the outside.

Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.

Your footwork is your wheels, you cannot execute a technique to its full potential without it, and you will not get far in your practice. You can know all the moves and be the best puncher or kicker, but without footwork, you are not going to cause much damage.

If your lineage doesn't have a tradition sparring with restraint, then avoid sparring without protection gears.

If you practice without gears then use only palm attacks or shallow slaps. You hit shallow, meaning, your target zone is only skin deep. That way, you minimize injuring your sparring partner. Also, the torque of the waist is not following all the way through. You get speed without the power.
Training without gears is a controlled manner trains you for the street pressure.

Stop Kicks are among the most effective, sophisticated kicks a fighter can use. And because they hit your opponent at his most vulnerable, they are also the safest way to pre-empt or counter an attack. Stop Kicks are delivered just as your opponent is fully committed to an attack, physically or mentally, meaning it is too late for him to change his mind. Hitting an opponent in mid-attack gives you the added advantage of using his attacking momentum against him.

The Guerrilla-War-Of-The-Mind

What most often weighs you down and brings you misery is the past. You must consciously force yourself to react to the present moment. Be ruthless on yourself; do not repeat the same tired methods. Wage guerrilla war on your mind, allowing no static lines of defense make everything fluid and mobile.

You cannot fight effectively unless you can identify your enemies. Learn to smoke out your enemies, to spot them by the signs and patterns that reveal hostility. Then, once you have them in your sights, inwardly declare war.

Counter punching requires only that your opponent do something. It might be a punch but it might equally be some other kind of action, a hand block for just tapping your gloves.
Dont confuse tapping for obtaining a drawing.

Side stop kick
Remember never hop in a fight as this can easily make you lose your balance and control. Instead, proper footwork includes shuffling, stepping, and sliding your feet to find new angles.
Knowing where to put your feet and when during a fight is going to make the difference and quickly decide who will have the upper hand.

There are many other aspects of footwork including
Pendulum
Angling

Any strike to be effective requires you to get as much of your body mass behind the strike as possible. Think about a hook punch or a cross. Power doesn’t come from swinging your arm and connecting with your fist. Power comes from driving your hips, and your arm follows along. That’s how you get your body mass behind the punch.

Scissor Takedown (Kani Basami)

Kani Basami is a move that every Judoka knows, but only a few can perform. The Kani Basami is one of the ancient throwing techniques of Judo. The way this throw, or better, said, takedown works, is by attacking the legs of the opponent.

The reason that Kani Basami is also known as the scissor takedown, or even the “flying scissors” is because of the motion of your legs. For this takedown, you actually attack the opponent’s legs with your legs. In fact, the goal is to use a sc******ng motion of your legs to take away the opponent’s base and get them to the ground quickly. And it works.

Quickly advancing on an opponent and attempting a takedown is known as shooting for a takedown, or simply shooting. Takedowns are usually distinguished from throws by amplitude and impact, where the purpose of a throw is to outright eliminate the opponent while purpose of a takedown is to bring the opponent down on the ground, assume a dominant position and then proceed to finish them with joint locks, chokeholds or ground and pound.

Drawing is a counterattack initiated by luring an opponent into committing to a move. You must induce the opponent to step forward to tempo into the "within distance" area, for instance, by leaving an apparent opening. Then you time his attack, and nail him while he is stepping forward, or merely shifting his weight forward, or when he shows any sign of heaviness, mentally or physically. The success of this attack largely depends on concealing your real intentions.

The feint should induce the opponent to think you are going to hit him in a particular line; so it must be long enough to provoke a reaction. When the opponent moves his hand or arm to cover that line, another line will open and the real thrust strikes there.

Benefits of Stick Fighting Training

Using a Stick to Protect Yourself – When used correctly, a stick can be a very effective self-defense weapon. Generally, stick strikes can cause severe blunt-force trauma injuries. Sticks are also ubiquitous and can be readily employed in many self-defense situations.

A trained stick fighter has tremendous speed compared to an untrained stick fighter. Weapons move at a high speed, so training with them improves reaction time. Regular practice with weighted objects like sticks also helps develop overall body strength, coordination, and empty hand speed.

Effective slipping
One of the most important aspects of a quick reaction time is remaining alert and present. Stay in the moment and don’t let your mind wander. Watch your opponent closely so that you are ready to react and slip the punch as soon as you see it coming.

Don’t take your eyes off your opponent even for a moment. This could give them the opportunity to catch you off your guard.

Attacker in blue (Anantraj) throws a straight left jab which is slipped and missed by Rajveer (yellow) using the left shoulder making body slip on the right. Anantraj ( blue) now plans to counter the right body slip with a hook. His Plan fails when Rajveer ( yellow) instead slips to the left with simultaneous left jab strike to the face

The long Short rhythm
The fast and long shots don’t necessarily have to land. They’re used to set up your harder shots. So instead of trying to connect, you could try throwing at different places (elbow, forehead, opposite side, etc) to make him defend a different area and expose himself for your hard shots.

Investing your energy isn't risky. Not being in control is risky.

There is nothing quite like the sting of a punch on a tender nose. Everyone knows it is bound to happen when entering a boxing gym/club, but, no one ever really reacts the way they wish they did when the punch is landed.

The first thing you should in combat situations is tell your body to relax. When you release the unnecessary tension from your body, you become much more reactive to what’s happening.

Be reliant on your eyes. Focus on one spot, perhaps their chin or chest, and use your peripheral vision to be on the lookout for incoming shots and holes in their game.

Are they dropping their hands when they throw a certain shot? Are they stepping in an angle where you can trip them? Allowing your eyeballs to dart all around is not a good habit to develop, much less so when it comes to going up against someone aggressive.

A fight is much more than individual moves, of course. Offensive output and pace, transitions from phase to phase, confidence, rhythm and a dozen other advanced concepts all matter.

The most successful fighters that I’ve seen are mostly trained, and they sparred a lot too, but they each had one to three moves, I mean very atomic moves like a specific kick, a specific throw or punch, and they were just on the spot insanely good with them. They didn’t do much, but the little bit they did they could do with their eyes closed and sleeping.

Hands Up, But Not Aware

Many people keep their hands up when they are close enough to get hit by their training partner’s attacks. This is good, but many people are not “aware” of their training partner’s attacks or counter attacks.

People think that just because their hands are up they are safe. This is wrong

When someone punches you, it doesn’t matter much if your hands are up or not. Your hand can ricochet back to your face from the force of the punch and it will still hurt.

What I’m addressing is a mental state.

Be mindful of your training partner’s capacity to attack you and to counter attack you. Look to counter attack or re-counter everything he throws at you.

Note that many experienced people actually have their hands down because they have an aware mental state, and are seeking the counter attack, they are still safe and are still offensive.

Having your hands up is always safer than having your hands down; however, just because your hands are up, it doesn’t mean you can relax your mind and think that your opponent can not hit you and hurt you. He still can.
