OK, so the vast majority of the techniques that I feel comfy using are defensive techniques - ala countering incoming attacks and baiting to incite a commited attack.

What do you guys use to close distance and attack with? I'm not asking about blind rushes or anything, but rather combo techniques that you'd use after feeling out your opponent (let's not get into those 'realistic street fight' type things - let's assume sparring, dueling, etc. where you have an opponent that's also 'ready' to fight).
