Identify your strongest entry
Review which tie and attack consistently create a stable position. Choose a main entry and a complementary option rather than trying to make every attack equally central.
Build the access route
Practice the footwork and hand fighting that lead to the entry. Include the common tie clear or angle change needed when the opponent denies your preferred connection.
Plan the failed-entry response
Choose a safe recovery or second action when the entry stalls. Practice it from the actual stopped position so the transition is realistic.
Connect match positions
Define your first bottom action and your most dependable top control. Rehearse moving between positions without treating each exchange as an isolated technique.
Put it into practice
Your next session
Draw a three-branch map: preferred setup, opponent’s most common response, and your next action. Test each branch in a controlled situational round and revise it with the coach.
What to look for
A useful personal system is small enough to explain and strong enough to adapt. This page provides a planning structure; the coach should tailor the actual techniques to the athlete.
