Fighting Long

Strategy for fighting long in open stance (outside of perfect kicking distance):

• Hard close (fast close and hard check) then kick - This is used when the opponent hesistate and doesnt respond to your hard close.
  
• Hard close then if the opponent opens up, then open up also to draw the opponent. Kick as the opponent closes in using a long round kick or using a soft close then round kick. - This is used when the opponent opens up (moves back) when you hard close.
  
• Hard close then switch out round kick. - This is used when the opponent kicks you with a round kick (or any kick) as you perform your hard close.
