Four Combat Attitudes

Understanding your opponent is one of the most powerful advantages in combat. In this tactical course, you will dive into the theory and application of the Four Combat Attitudes—Approaching Attacker, Approaching Defender, Receiving Attacker, and Receiver Defender. You’ll learn to identify these strategic mindsets in real time and adapt your tactics to exploit their strengths and weaknesses. Each module breaks down the behavioural patterns, motivations, and physical cues that reveal an opponent’s combat attitude. Through drills, sparring scenarios, and visual analysis, you’ll build the perceptual skills needed to shift the fight in your favour. Whether you’re a beginner developing strategic awareness or an experienced fighter refining your edge, this course gives you the tools to see through your opponent and strike where they’re most vulnerable.

Skills you’ll develop:

• Tactical pattern recognition
• Real-time opponent analysis
• Adaptive fighting strategy
• Combat deception and control

Ideal for students of all weapon disciplines seeking to sharpen their strategic mind and turn theory into decisive action.
