To show respect to your question, I will try to answer as directly as possible.<br /><br />To keep things short, I don't believe in deliberately "setting up" an opponent for a specific counterattack or being a "counterfighter" in general. The premise of that relies on the opponent not executing well, and I'd rather not give him the chance.<br /><br />That being said, usually when you walk in on an opponent, he will end up "reacting" to your presence rather than "acting", at which point you can destroy him with a block, a punch, etc. This is fundamentally different than trying to fake out the opponent or give a false opening, then reacting to how he chooses to exploit your opening. Even if you are intentionally luring the opponent, you are still handing over the initiative to him. Ultimately, it is more of a "fighting trick" than anything else and is the opposite of strongly entering into the opponent.<br /><br />I train with Pat Nakata Sensei at the OSKA dojo in Honolulu, Hawaii.<br /><br />Thank you for your thoughts and questions.Bujutsu Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474552364322455131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111558.post-50055822427420908562011-01-16T10:55:59.296-08:002011-01-16T10:55:59.296-08:00Fascinating.

I, too, feel that taking the initiative is the most important aspect of prevailing in combat, and pressing forward, both physically and psycologically is an essential principle to train. What are your thoughts on giving ground to attack, what Bruce Lee referred to as Attack by Drawing? I've found that sometimes by simply allowing someone to press, it opens the line of attack that was otherwise closed. <br /><br />Also, what is the name of your dojo? I'd love to visit it sometime.Kamilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12216057008638038108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19111558.post-7466690533073158862010-12-30T09:33:47.514-08:002010-12-30T09:33:47.514-08:00I agree with closing distance, when i first starte...I agree with closing distance, when i first started training, it was very difficult close distance and be accurate. <br /><br />Great postAnthonyhttp://prokaratateshop.comnoreply@blogger.com
