[QUOTE=imperialtaichi;1142348]IMO, in a fight too many variables. I want to simplify the fight to the simplest denomination. The simpler it is, the faster I am and less likely to break down. Too much “if then else” complicates the situation and make you slow.
But hey, if that works for you, I respect that.[/QUOTE]
I think we are talking about the same thing here. There are different degree of “simplicity”.
Extream simple - If I keep moving back then you can’t reach me (apply to all attacks).
Very simple - If you punch me then I’ll kick you (apply to all punches).
Average simple - If you head lock me then I’ll bear hug you (only apply to head lock).
In the head lock case, you may apply 20 other counters, but the bear hug is still the most simple and effective solution.
