The Highest Form of Combat: Attack By Drawing To Land The Front Kick

The beauty of punishing your opponent for doing the “right” thing. Would love to see another video breaking down the different levels of striking

[@engredz]

Watching Elite counter-punchers/ strikers do their thing is a piece of art. I see this a lot in boxing and Muay Thai

[@paulpolito2001]

Imho, punishing em for using sound, proper technique is about the only reasonably reliable overall tactic versus a well-rounded opponent. I think Mike said it better than I did, everything else tends to be “reactive” and reliant on their mistakes.

[@thehighcommunity247]

It was great how you labeled the 3 levels. Reacting, Predicting, And Forcing. Then Ignoring would fall somewhere in there, like not falling for what they're trying to do.

[@callmehavoc736]

Ignoring is probably under predicting and above reacting tbh. You stopped reacting, but you aren't necessarily predicting anything. Just doing what you/your coach want without worrying about your opponent.

It's always fun to see how different people carry themselves, in practices. This guy is like super gentle and polite, even though it's clear he could go much harder (and you wouldn't mind). Wonderboy holds bad enough to let you practice some things you're working on, while still keeping pressure on you. Sensei Seth kicks you in the head, whenever he gets an opening.

in fighting game terminology this is called a frame trap: where you leave enough of a gap in your offense that your opponent tries to take their turn on offense but in reality there was something else coming that they open them self up for.

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

Exactly

[@jestfullgremblim8002]

@@yordiquezada9706 what do you mean applied in Judo? in a Judo or mma match, attacking by drawing could be having your opponent get a certain grip on you (also called "grip baiting" by some people) so you can apply a certain technique that requires them to hold you like that. It can also mean having them push or pull you so you can also apply a technique, this can be done in many ways, like pushing your opponent so he pushes back and then you do a Tai Otoshi (or any forward projection) but i do not know if that counts as attacking by drawing. When there is striking involved (any Aikido person that is watching, please pay attention to this) like in mma, you can also bait them into over commiting to an attack so you can pull them to add to their strength and apply a technique. But how do you bait them into doing this? Easy enough, but you may do it differently when you are in the ring or in a real fight. When trying it in the ring, you must keep yourself at long range at all times, if you opponent tries to get close and attack you, DO NOT JAB HIM (this could discourage them from getting in, and we want them to try!). What you should do is to instantly back down, move backwards, slip backwards, and move around them; may it be by pivoting, karate dashing, or even check hoocking (pivot + hook). This will make them want to get in fast to finally get a good hit on you, and when they do that, *you will be ready* For a real fight, you can have more options as you can try and walk away at any point, which will make your opponent(s) way more aggressive because they will not want you to leave! You must also you voice to try and descalate the situation which will not work, but will have them know that you don't want to fight... *or at least that's what they'll think* You must do the same as in the right, constantly move backwards, but watch your step! You don't want to trip and fall on the ground! If they are slowly walking towards you, then move backwards faster than them, this will make them move faster to catch up to you, if they over commit to an attack while doing this, you can pretty much choose what Judo/Aikido technique you want to use. If they keep moving slowly, you can probably scape, remember that this is assuming that you are not surrounder or cornered and trapped! If so, you must adapt/change your strategy completely!!! Hope this helps

[@engredz]

100% It's how elite strikers get to become elite. I fully appreciate this method with boxers. Where they come at you with the right distance; a specific punch and body movement where you as the defender or counter-puncher have no choice but to give in to instinct (all the pad training and muscle memory) which in turn gives the attacker what he wants from you, then boom! This is also true in other full contact striking arts/sport. And Mike, that front kick could be trained further to target the liver

[@mattwells1036]

When I was in wrestling, and I had a good idea that I was better than my opponent, I would stick my lead leg farther out, baiting them to try and shoot in on it, and I'd be sprawling back and circling behind in "one" swift movement getting my own takedown before they could do anything about it.

[@hard2hurt]

Exactly! It gives you a chance to practice something that you would never feel confident trying to practice against someone your skill level or better.

[@paulpolito2001]

Icy Mike, phrasing Psychological Warfare as “fighting their mind”, is giving as eloquent/elegant a definition as I can think of (and I’m fucking BRILLIANT, lol).

[@whim6287]

I've always called it baiting the opponent. Sometimes I toss feints in there in the same category. I also don't know if I agree with not learning by sparring. I've learn a lot about grappling by rolling with wrestlers as a JJJ guy, and grabbing a couple of rubber knives and a couple of Sikh buddies helped me out a lot more with my knife game than any class.

[@aidangittings]

I’ve done attack by drawing against a “black belt” in Tang Soo Do. Not that I don’t respect all styles, but all he could do was throw front leg kicks. I taught him how to throw a punch. But besides the point. I would draw him in all the time and spinning back kick him in the stomach and stuff like that. He was also really easy to fight

This is basically jus “give and take” you give ‘em sumn and whatever they return you take (no not take as in taking the hit) it can be a slip and rip it can be a feint side step counter feint pull counter both hands down to bait then step back counter etc.

[@elijahoconnell]

something i like to do in fencing and sword and buckler fencing is to have my stance bladed with my sword hand to the rear and sword sticking out too (like half a Tpose). i pressure in and when they counter pressure and start walking i swing the svjør’edth in a downwards arc back up to give the stabbo. conversely i can lead with the sword side and have the sword hand resting by the left hip. using the same pressure strategy i then flick the sword coming either from the side or overhead

[@HANDLERofKNIFE]

My absolute favourite stuff is to pressure on the ropes and try to get a big whiff like a hook or an overhand then pullback it on reaction and counter and keep repeating untill they get me or slip out of the ropes

[@dirtpoorchris]

Maybe to super train this have 1 guy use 2' feet or 1' foot of pool noodle in each arm and the other guy can only use shoves and teeps and drags. If the pool noodle guy gets 5 hits its round over and see how many teeps, shoves, and drags the other guy can get in before hes tapped by the foam 5 times. Then when you take away the 2' extra feet he should be WAY quicker at capitalizing on a drawing technique. I bet if he gets a good shove in he can get 10+ points against the foams. Can also modify it to where leg kicks are allowed but only teeps, shoves, and drags count for counter points, legkicks are just for setups. I havent tested it just brainstorming

[@CombatSelfDefense]

Great breakdown of attack by drawing. I also like the video planning breakdown at the end

[@dirtpoorchris]

Best was to play by your own beat instead of theirs: Trust in your speed. Trust in your instincts. Dont be scared to get hit, just mitigate it. Learn how to spill your head gravity to make your body move faster. If you know how to spill your heads gravity in any direction and hop step you really can dodge almost anything even with ur hands down. Unless they are really good at chasing you down, but technically you should be able to beat someone of equal skill that is chasing too much. The hardest thing to do in fighting is resist the flinch. When you are scared and dont know what is comming next so you stop looking and clam up, even for a split second can make you lose. Once you master the flinch you should be able to resist some incredible stuff.

Shouting "attack by drawing!" (good advice though it was) from the corner is pretty funny. How can he succeed at attack by drawing if the opponent heard you call for the trick? Its like shouting at an apprentice magician to "hide the card up your sleeve!" If I know that you know that I know that you know... In any case, since you like the OODA loop concept, you really should check out Edward Luttwak's Strategy: The Logic of Peace and War. You'd like it. The key point is called the "strategic paradox" which says that in competition between two conscious combatants (not "conscious" in the sense of being awake, but in the sense that both entities know that they are in combat and are purposefully trying to figure the other out), the premium on doing the unexpected is incredibly high. So high that doing things that would otherwise be thought of as effective are not effective because they're expected and can therefore be easily countered, even by an opponent of lesser capability. Its basically a military historian with a PhD from the London School of Economics and Johns Hopkins explaining why Roy Jones Jr was great.

[@lashtal]

Falling into the category of determining the rhythm of the fight, and knowing the opponent's tendencies... it requires Absolute Dominance in the first instance, and previous knowledge of the opponent, and/or a super good natural "read" of Kinetics in the second instance (assuming the opponent isn't telegraphing with their eyes). Bruce Lee was, as you know, deeply interested in Physiology; so it makes total sense he'd incorporate a "read" of the opponent's physiology, or Kinetics, into a fight-plan. Even more curious is the Wing Chun, or "INTERCEPTING" fist/kick/whatever quotient... In Combination With... the various feints used in Fencing. Speed-training was crucial to Bruce, he did quite a bit of it... as did Tyson who recognized that "speed kills" ("PUT YOUR MOTHER IN A STRAIGHT JACKET, YOU PUNK ASS WHITE BOY!!!") Simply put, these concepts- even all together- are very simple to understand. In practice however, they only come to fruition after understanding the theory behind them all, each, and through training gaining the ability to combine them all together into one harmonious "idea" through successful execution. Now where Wing Chun comes into play here is that when you "catch" the opponent's attack with your arm, or leg... is your arm or leg going to shift 45 degrees upwards, downwards, or to the side in a single, exceedingly quick well-read motion? This is based on your personal training of techniques, knowing which one makes the most sense to follow through with, in combination with an actual physical reading in real-time (in the form of A Physical Contact). In this video however, Lee's "intercepting fist" portion has been completely replaced with an "Intercepting Attack". The very notion of even intercepting the fist/kick has been completely removed from the equation of possibility. If someone could establish Dominance 100% of the time, determining the rhythm, AND set the opponent up for an instant opening and a strike, Every Single Time... he'd be like Neo in The Matrix. It's good to know that, Theoretically, this can be done. However, in actuality, it's just not possible to succeed 100% of the time. Anyone, like Lee, who happens to venture off into this "nether" zone, my hat is off to you! It's very important to think about. But for most of us: we're not going to get there, or if we do, it's on total accident. I've only had ONE instance, in which I feel I totally "entered the matrix", and it was during a Kendo session. Imagine you're a person forming circle, with 5 other people, and each sword-fighter is as good as you. (Heck, some can be better, and some can even be a little worse). On the word "go!", you all begin to fight, and the winner is the last one not hit. Most times, the person to the direct left or right of you is the immediate threat, and most often they are if not singled-out, are getting double-teamed (including you!) There was just ONE time, in my entire life where I ever stabbed and hit everyone around me in like 4.5 seconds, taking no damage myself. That is, no one else in that circle made even ONE hit on another opponent. I was THE ONLY ONE who did any hitting, and I won super quick. After it happened, not even I- especially me- could believe that it even happened. It was So Fucking Ridiculous, I'm convinced it will never happen again... not just in sword-fighting, but perhaps ever, in anything. In a second I read the physiology of the group, their tendencies, the kinetics of it, the rate/speed (both mine and their own); executing incredibly instinctively based on training. There was "No Thought". I think this level of Perfection is what Bruce was after with training certain concepts like this. But me, I'm lucky to say it happened only ONCE in my life. Even if 100,000,000 other instances were to have occurred since... I don't think any of them would've carried that sort of "Perfection" with it. Everything was Perfect, Absolutely Perfect. Too Perfect to even be real... but it happened. It felt as if time had slowed, or I had complete control over it. It was instantaneous, and Ridiculously Insane. The reactions of every sparring partner, and myself included was total disbelief that it happened. I even feel as if I "wasn't even there", or after it occurred, that it "just happened". I barely even "remember" each blow. It was as if I FELT more than I even SAW with my own two eyes. This level of martial Excellency only passed through me pronouncedly ONCE in my life, and if it could happen ever again, may only occur ONCE again. But the thinking with the masters (especially Shaolin) is that it can happen Every Time. Or it must be aspired to. This was the way Bruce trained. This- his attitude, knowledge of training itself, and his actual dedication to training- is, undoubtedly why people herald his type to be of the greatest martial artists to ever exist. He aspired to, and TRAINED FOR this level of Absolute, Perfect Success. Unlike me, it was a fluke. For someone like Bruce though... it probably happened AT LEAST once a week. I've never told anyone this story before (probably because of how stupid-ridiculous it sounds), and imagine some of you may also have a similar story to share, and I'd like to hear about it as well! But I think I've managed to make it very clear how much Bruce just wasn't your average martial arts practitioner... he was very concerned about getting to this point precisely, and trained for this state of Absolute Mastery. I just hope to have made it clear, so you can really appreciate him and his approach to martial arts even more. He came from "the old school", where it was GUARANTEED; that if you put water on fire, the fire is GUARANTEED to go out. But if you fanned the fire with air, the fire was GUARANTEED to rise up into an inferno. This is the same level of intensity and fervour that was put into it by Miyamoto Musashi and you can see him talking about this in the form of elemental correspondences in his "Book of 5 Rings". I just hope somebody got something beneficial from this long rant, lol

[@petkoterzievbackupchannel]

Ooou yeah you can't make a video without hopping around my friend. Let me give you some advice for this cute little kick that you failed at the end. It's called oshirogeri and your knee is supposed to point the flor as well as you foot, not point side ways. Also when you do it at a long range your best chance is to do a front kick (maegeri) with a small jump to gain some speed and cover distance, and when your opponent moves backwards to escape it, when your front kicking leg drops to the flor you transfer your weight on it and use it to turn for the second kick , the oshirogeri which should come from below and should move in a straight line (like a donkey kick (^_^) ). I've knocked many ppl with this kick. The effect it they just fly and land with no further desire to fight, that is if they can get up, if not then they get a good rest to rethink their actions. Also the oshirogeri is good for close range as well. To do it just pivit on your front leg and do it as described above. But for the long range you need the small jump, the front kick, or at least pretend to throw a front kick (lift the knee, and so on you should know how to feint), drop your front leg, pivit on it, and throw the oshirogeri. Ok i think you will get it eventually. Cheers and happy hopping bro 😎👍

Well on macro level, tactics are tactics. The overall principle can be applied to a chess match, a boxing match, a gunfight or nuclear war. This principle could be applied to a salary negotiation. It is a higher level concept though, so it may seem difficult to employ with less parameters. On a more digestible level, we are specifically talking about a front kick setup used in the context of a kickboxing match. A huge clue would be that we are talking about a kickboxing match and showing a clip from a kickboxing match. It is the simplest to employ in contexts where you have time and information to determine tendencies and habits of your opponent and parameters that limit the number of surprises.

Cod you make the kick a roundhouse?

[@hard2hurt]

There are some particulars that make the front kick work well in this case, but this can be done with any attack.

[@driver3899]

start in orthodox stance. Get them to throw a punch as they do it step backwards so you are in southpaw stance and immediately use your lead leg to throw a round house kick to either their body, or sneak it up over their lead shoulder to hit them in the jaw or neck

[@classahalimaw4606]

[@enoughofyourkoicarp]

"I'm basically the same thing as Bruce Lee." An overrated actor who everyone thinks he can do no wrong despite him telling people that he's not perfect and has a crazy cult following that I'm part of? Well that's a surprise, I didn't know you were an actor. *sips tea* Also instructions unclear, drew Mickey Mouse, got punched in the face.

[@hard2hurt]

Have you not seen my films?

[@ProjectSkate2024]

Attack by draw, broken rhythm hmmmmmmm smells like JKD. Now you need a video on progressive indirect attack.

[@REDLINE.FGC1]

ignoring goes at the top and bottom of the levels of fighting

[@hard2hurt]

And sometimes the middle too.

[@buttox]

It's the cytoplasm of fighting

[@schannel9900]

Icy Mike slowly starting to sound like that one old man who teaches karate or some tradional martial artist. Where he just overly complicate things

[@formoney5255]
