Another boxing strategy is if you need to get your front foot on the outside of your opponent's if he is a south paw, this is taught directly through technique work on the pads and sparring. Gasp strategy taught via technique usage.
Similarly a strategy and principle in judo is to off balance your opponent and to attach him to you before you throw him, this is taught via uchikomi drills, throw isolation drills and randori with different levels of resistance. For instance on an ippon Seoi nage i ensure their is distance between us i initial a upward pull as i turn in order to raise my opponents base into his toes and continue to spin attaching him to my back, i don't reach back with my other arm to catch the arm i wanting throw him with because that breaks my structure, another judo strategy is always speak to keep your structure and break there's, i only throw when he is attached and off balanced, if he pulls back i drop to an normal Seoi nage so i am not meeting force with force another judo strategy, or comrpmisif my base without breaking his....Look three basic judo principles and strategies taught using one technique...
And also notice that all are re-enforced and drilled into our via drills directly related to, and closely resembling your competition format using techniques you will use in that environment
