Concepts are ways of doing things in an orderly or disorderly manner, by using the attributes you have.

Your Skills, Strengths, Abilities, Speed, etc.

An entry, a way of entering your opponent's circle. From a destruction flow into whatever Art/System is applicable at that time.
Example:

• From a destruction you may use a straight-through blast from Wing Chun using the CENTER LINE THEORY, if there is no block.
  
• From a destruction you may use a joint-lock or arm bar as in Hapkido or Aiki-Jujitsu, if there is an obstruction (block).

• Striking at specific points such as:

  Biceps, Triceps, Fist, Forearm, Eyes, Throat, Etc..

  
  

  • Example: Against a lead jab
    Vertical Gunting with Elbow (striking his fist with an upward elbow) into an Eye Jab with the same arm/hand. If blocked, come under the block with a wedge (the other hand) and jab to the eyes, then go into a trapping action (slap, block and grab), strike to neck, grab head and pull it into a strike with back elbow, then outer elbow with opposite elbow, then headbutt, grabbing head and pull into a knee strike while turning his body, then twist his head further into a takedown and follow-up.

   

• Use a destruction as a first shot.
  
• Zone away from the opponent's rear hand.
  
• Do not equate against the technique. Equate against the line of attack. Attack the angle not the technique. Keep hands up in protective posture.
  
• Use a Stop-Hit if the opponent winds up to punch or kick.
  
  • Example: Finger-jab to eyes, Kick to shin or knee.
    
• Sensitivity training is a must.
  
  • Example: Chi-sao from Wing Chun or Kublah from The Filipino Arts.
    
  • Example of Kublah: Raise--Slap--Hit!
    
    • Right hand lead
      
    • Left hand lead

  FOUR RANGES OF FIGHTING

  Kicking Punching Trapping Grappling

  
  

  To defend against kicks, one must know how to kick. If you know the mechanics of the kick, then you know where the kick can come from.
  
  Some defenses used in various systems for kicks all look similar, but may have subtle little differences in execution.
