Notes on Attack By Draw

There is much written about the notion of attack by draw and I touched on this subject in my previos entry. Considering I skimmed the topic I figured it would be best to provide a more detailed explanation of the basics of what exactly attack by draw entails. For the uninitiated, attack by draw refers to leaving a line open to 'draw in' an attack that leaves the attacker vulnerable to a counter attack.

Here is an example: You purposely leave you lead hang guard down to draw in a jab so that you can counterpunch as the jab is released. There are literally no limitations to the various ways you can set up an attack by draw. Additionally, such an attack is not limited to boxing or kickboxing and can be applied to any fighting or combat sport.

Of course, this is a somwhat advanced concept and takes a bit of time to develop, but if you put the time in - you will develop it. There is nothing magical or mystical about it. It simply involves drilling and sparring to achieve proficiency. It is as simple as that. Well, ok, it isn't exactly simple but it is achievable.
