TODAY'S TIP (via John 7/20/2010): In the instant you make contact, find a point of tension/resistance (or create it via pulsing) and use it to take balance just enough to move in and land killing blows. While doing this, stay offline by feeling where he's going and moving at angles to stay out of the way. While you want to remain disengaged and ghostly, sometimes you're forced to fight inside or head-to-head. In this case, it's useful to have the hand conditioning (via slam bag, horse shoe, dynamic tension, etc), looseness and sensitivity to severely damage anything you can touch with short, quick strikes with e.g. hammer fists, as well as to keep your body out of the way even with seemingly no room to maneuver.
