Avenues of attack: Things move quickly in combat sports. opportunities come and go quickly, so when there is an opening one can't procrastinate. It's important to have pre-established lines of attack sorted out so that when an opportunity flashes in front of you you know exactly what to do.

Each presents very different forms of control and very different lines of attack – make sure you have yours figured out and ready to roll.
