Attack his first – everything else second: The strength of an opponents is directly proportional to the strength/integrity of his stance. The better the stance, the stronger his defense. Your then, is to break his stance prior to attacking. that a good opponent will recover quickly whenever his stance is compromised, so once you've broken it – don't procrastinate – attack! and pull are always the basis of attacking an opponents stance – all the major methods fall into those categories – add the notion of tripping an opponent while pushing and pulling and you will be able to disrupt even a very strong stance. Make it your every you're about to attack and those of yours will be much more successful!
