    Here are some TCMA strategies to share.

    1. Pull before you push, and push before you pull.
    2. Force your opponent to move to your right. If he resists, attack his right leg. If he yields, attack his left leg.
    3. Attack both of your opponent's legs if you can, otherwise, attack the one that is closer to you first, you then attack the other one afterward.
    4. After you have obtained both of your opponent's legs, since he has no legs left, he will fall.
    5. 1 is better than 1,2. 1,2 is better than 1,2 3. "Speed" is when you can combine many moves into a single move.
    6. Hide the initial part of your next move at the end of your previous move.
    7. Use the strong part of your body to fight against the weak part of your opponent's body.
    8. If your opponent wants to bend, help him to bend more. If your opponent wants to straight, help him to straight more.
    9. If your opponent wants to raise up, help him to raise up more. If your opponent wants to sink down, help him to sink down more.
    10. If your opponent wants to stand in wide stance, help him to stand much wider. If your opponent wants to stand in narrow stance, help him to stand much narrower.
    11. If you want to attack your opponent's left, you attack his right first.
    12. If you want to punch your opponent, you kick him first.
    13. In your initial 3 attacks, give everything that you have. After your opponent has a taste about your power, if you just move your finger, your opponent will scare to death.
    14. If you attack one direction and your opponent resists, you attack the opposite direction.
    15. If you attack one direstion and your opponent yields, you attack the same direction again.
    16. The less that you let your body to touch your opponent's body, the less that your opponent may detect your intention.
    17. The more that you let your body to touch your opponent's body, the more that you can detect your opponent's intention.
    18 Try to force a striker to play your grappling game. Try to force a grappler to play your striking game.
    19. It's better to use 60% of your power to hit your opponent than to use 100% of your power and miss it.
    20. Your body is like 3 springs, without training, each spring will be compressed and released individually. With training, all 3 springs will be compressed and released at the same time.

    Please add your experience and extend this list, or you may point out which strategy is BS and will never work.
