When you fight with someone who is a good fight, simply attacking might not help you penetrate his defense and hit him. You can punch, he gives parry or moves out of the line of attack. You kick him but he blocks that. So you cannot hit him.

In a fight like this, you can make some moves to confuse your opponent. And yes, it works. If you participate in a fighting competition, you can use this. Or, if you fight for self defense, you will find it very useful.

In order to confuse your opponent, do something that makes him think you are going to attack a specific part of the body, but when you actually hit him, attack somewhere else. For example, in this video, you see Master Wong kicks low, then actually kick him high.

When you move your move and are about to kick low, your opponent will think you will kick his legs. Then you actually kick his upper part of the body. To make this technique work for you, you have to be fast. Your opponent will understand it if you are not fast enough.

You can punch the attacker to draw his attacker, then you can kick to his legs. You can do a lot of things to confuse your opponent. You can even throw cards towards him. Cards are not going to hit him hard. But it will confuse your opponent what you are about to do.

Hope it is clear what I am saying. Anyway, I do not want to confuse you when you read my post. ;)
