Five ranges in fighting

[Yoshiyahu]

I summarizes ranges in means of what i can do to you...

If i cant punch you but i can make contact with a side kick...Then im in kicking range to bridge the gap with a kick.

If i am in range to where i can punch you but i can't elbow or knee I know not to waist a short range technique like an elbow an flutter you with lighting fast strikes and powerful hard blows. Once im the range where i can clinch i can also take you down, throw elbows and knees. With in the clinch range where i cant fully extend a punch Like i would like is where i employ more grappling techniques...

I focus on three ranges

1.Gap Range - Where i need to charge or rush in to close or bridge the gap Usually thats isolated to long kicking range. I don't want to limited to long style kicks. This Range I use Biu Ma or Toh Mah to gain ground.

2.Chi Sau Range or Sparring Range - Where i can Punch, Kick, and grapple at the same time. This range I can pak da or Jut Sau while kicking you or lop da as my intial means of closing the gap. This range i can use biu ma and toh mah as well as Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma interchangalby.

3.Toe to Toe Range - Elbows, Take downs, Knees, Neck grabs and control, Inside leg sweep, shoulder stroke, body hit, head bunts. Etc...This is the range where i attack relentless and fast with elbows and knees to defend my centerline or re-gain chi sau range whilst finishing you...
