This week at Crossing Fight School, we will be reviewing plays originating from Medel’s Seven Stances. This is a subset of the main text which essentially highlights a series of guards, and a number of actions that you can stem from them.

The concept of forcing actions from your opponent using specific positions is not unique to Medel, but these plays, like much of his material, should prove useful in allowing us to better control the terms of engagement in an exchange, and thus the outcome of a match.

See you all on Sunday.
