To both fight smart, and keep it simple, isn’t a contradiction. But in the heat of battle, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by tactical decisions...
Do I press forward or stay patient? Do I counter or attack first? Should I stand my ground or move?
I used to overthink every exchange—until I simplified everything to just two primary fight modes; Aggressive/Elusive.
Once I built my strategy around these two modes, my performance skyrocketed.
If you know when and how to switch between them, you’re in control—no matter who’s in front of you.
