Identifying the Three Types of MMA Fighters!

The method I am about to tell you is supposed to have been originated by Bruce Lee, though I don't know whether he ever taught it in Jeet Kune Do. It was supposedly taught by Bruce to Joe Lewis, who became somewhat of a Karate legend back when point fighting was making the transition to full contact. Joe Lewis is supposed to have trained people in this method at various Kenpo schools, specifically the Tracy brothers, where it languished, and eventually disappeared from view. This method will work, it will tell you what kind of a fighter you are facing, and help you create a strategy to fight that fighter. However, there is a glaring weakness in the implementation of the method, and, there is a glaring weakness in the fact of the method. Still, it is important to know and be able to use if you are going to develop as a real fighter. When you face off towards a fighter, make a feinting motion and watch what happens. Before we analyze what that feint causes, consider the weakness of this movement. A feint is not a real motion, and while you're feinting he might go real on you. If the fighter backs up, he is a runner, he is going to go away from you. This means that you are going to have to go after him and track him down. You are going to have to develop a strategy which backs him up, cuts him off, and sets him up for the kill. If the fighter charges you, then he is aggressive, an attacker. This means you are going to have to slip him or back him down. You are going to have to develop a strategy which stops him, which slips his aggressiveness, and which takes advantage of his tendency to over charge. If the fighter stands and blocks, then he is a blocker. This means he is not going anywhere, and you are going to have to penetrate him. You are going to have to develop a strategy which penetrate his defense, which interchanges darting with overwhelming, or whatever else it takes to defeat him. These three observable combat tendencies are excellent for establishing a structure within the chaos of combat, and highly usable. However, the glaring weakness of the method became obvious the first time somebody tried to use it on me. The fellow faked, and I moved with him, but did not flee nor charge, merely duplicated his motion such as it was. I knew his motion wasn't real, and I was interested in matching what he was doing, mirroring his actions, and finding a real time solution. Checking the way a fellow reacts to something is not in real time, it is in fake time. Thus, this method falls apart when somebody is not reacting, but moving in real time, is letting The True Art move him and detail his responses.
