HAND SPEED IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN AN EXIGENT SITUATION. RAPID STRIKES CONFUSE AND DISORIENT AN OPPONENT AND FORCE HIM TO RETHINK A GIVEN SITUATION. EYES SHOULD BE ON THE OPPONENT AT ALL TIMES & THE FACE AND VITAL ORGANS SHOULD BE PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES. THE LEVEL AND ANGLE OF ATTACK SHOULD BE ALTERED. LOW/ HIGH COMBINATIONS ARE OPTIMALLY UTILIZED.
