Taiji has Push Hands (as well as Da Lu for distance work)
Boxing has dancing footwork and the jab
BJJ uses rolling and position
Wrestling has clinch work
Judo has grip work from the defensive posture
What’s yours? How does it work? Name the art as well.
My Delivery System
I find UPS is much more cost effective and efficient than the Postal Service.
Yup,
You the Senior Troll, Buster
I don’t think I understand what you mean by ‘delivery system.’ What do the things you cite have in common; is it that they are how you set an opponent up for a ‘real’ attack, one that’s meant to actually do damage or finish the fight?
OK Sure, probably should have explained it better.
Boxing will use footwork to stay just out of range and then dance in with a jab. Once you lose your awareness for a split second, there goes the combo.
Taiji will stick and press into you to get you off balance (so that you are momentarily unable to fight back) Then it goes in for the kill.
Judo and wrestling both attempt to steal your balance so they can safely set up the throw.
Good BJJ’ers will rarely attempt a sub until they have gained a dominant position.
I guess the other option is to just throw out your best technique and hope for the best
So, how do you set up your techs? What’s the strategy? What’s the method that achieves this? How do you “deliver” your techniques?
Okily dokily, that’s what I thought. Trouble is, you’ve pretty much covered it for me already. I’d share my thoughts on my experience in free sparring and randori with the board, except I don’t really have any. Any thoughts I mean. I only have a little experience, not enough to develop a personal strategy.
An American Kenpo artist will, generally, attempt to intercept an incomming strike or attack in order to get to a close position and then apply checks/holds/strikes/throws in order to control the opponent’s hight, width, and depth.

Er, Waterdragon, hi
Did you get my Email?
CLF will use feints, then attack . Using techniques to deceive the opponent and pull his concentration to one side, then blindsiding him on the other side with crushing blows!
Oooops, I’ll work on it and get it out to you. You’re on the right track.
aikido fits your judo description very well. they are very similar in their concept of delivery
You mean sort of the principles and the fighting strategy?
Its like claw and hit and… stuff.
And other stuff i cant remember (gee I’m stoopid).
There was a page with those stuff ill go see if i find it to post it.
8 Step praying mantis has (Ba Duan)
Intercept, trap/close/strike at the same fluid motion. Grab him and drop him afterwards.
i just hit anything thats open, if they punch and leave their ribs open i kick them in the ribs, if they dont have an opening i fake and then attack the opening, if they just stand there open…
I like to use my hands, elbows and knees, so I gotta get in close. I may crash on my opponent, or try to gain ground on him by sidestepping an attack. For some odd reason, I like doing throws lately so whenever I get my opponent off balanced either by bumping, a strike, etc. I will go for a throw. I’ve got a pretty nice roundhouse, which I try to utilize also to set up getting in my preferred range.
On a side note, WD, I’ve been using the he11 out of the steal step throw and the reap. It’s difficult setting up that shoulder throw, but I’m working on it.
water dragon I am not sure people understand the question…
Earth Dragon -
As near as I can tell its a metaphor. Martial arts is like a nuclear missle, and has two parts - the delivery system and the payload. The delivery system is what you use to get past defenses and within range to do your thing, and the payload is when you actually bust ass.
In bagua, our delivery system was our footwork and our basic wrapping arm movement. In boxing, my delivery system is a weave and a step in rather than dancing footwork and a jab.
In baji, our delivery system seems to be punches and kicks so far. I haven’t really gotten very far into the art yet…
I would say the ‘delivery system’ is to break the opponents posture and balance while strengthening my own via drilling, rising, falling, and overturning as well as sticking, leading and yielding while advancing or turning the body. Baguazhang.
Now, if only I could do it. ;p
