    Entrance Strategies

    What's yours? Kung fu is about getting in and finishing, not playing from the outside tap tappity. How do you get in and finish? Are you one who feints? Are you one who is the hunter or the one who responds to the attack? Do you have the school of thought that if your opponent moves away you move in, if he moves in, you move in, if he stays, you move in?

    What do you use and what works for you?

    Depends, usually either cover and crash using crazy monkey, of level change under their attacks and clinch the body

    Getting close to clinch and hit (my goal) isn’t usually that hard, people usually plant to throw bombs or stalk you down and come to you, if they are playing the outside game then I cut the angle put them against an immovable object (like a cage, wall ring etc) or just run them down with a blast double lol

    By using the TCMA terms that will be to enter through the

    - side door, or
    - front door.

    Besides the "side door" and "front door" concept, I like to add the

    - outer door - wrist range,
    - middle door - elbow range,
    - inner door - shoulder range, and
    - back door - behind the back.

    Also how you enter has a lot to do with whether you and your opponent are in

    - uniform stance (same sides forward) or
    - mirror stance (different sides forward).

    If you are a "grappler", you should notice the 4 sides concepts:

    - outside of your opponent's right leg.
    - inside of your opponent's right leg.
    - outside of your opponent's left leg.
    - inside of your opponent's left leg.

    As a sign of my obvious maturity I'll refrain from commenting about back door entry strategies

    When you and your opponent are in "mirror stance", it's not that hard to enter his "back door".

    Your opponent will let you know the path in, throw the water , it will find the crack.

    stealin' my lines, eh?


    The first three posts basically sums up our strategy for entrance.
    I'll add, I like to stick something at them to deal with as I bridge the gap.(low kick, thrust kick, round kick,sometimes simultaneous hand and foot etc)
    It draws their fire, or occupies their bridge so I can close from outside critical distance to inside, without getting hit on the way in.

    Bridge fighting, my favorite.

    Another question, when does it start? Are you engaging when you look across the ref? what about your move out of the corner? straight in, or?

    And of course, the street? Firm believer that engagement starts well before crossing hands.

    Also, you need more than one. It has to be the right one for the right opponent. And no luxury to think about it...

    This type of movement is seen in some of the CLF sets we do .. seems that the gentleman who has codified the movements and organised them into a format has called them Crazy Monkey... seems to be quite effective on the vids : ')
