TRAINING SUGGESTIONS FOR BRIDGING THE GAP
1. Develop economical, fast footwork and rapid agility.
2. Note any continuous or set pattern in the opponent’s footwork.
3. Train yourself to be aware of the opponent’s distance of attack and prevent him from coming into that distance.
4. Break the distance by either “stealing a step,” creating a false sense of distance, or using “broken rhythm” in your footwork.
5. Eliminate all telegraphic motion from your striking skills.
Keep training!
