Fighting Principle #1 - Positioning

OK first of all I'm going to be posting all this from my iPod so expect some mistakes in spelling. I would have done this from one of my computers but there broken so.... Anyways second thing is that these principles are based of a martial art that I train in so I'm trying to convert it into tactics we can use in airsoft. Please excuse me if you think these topics will not work.


Lesson 1 - Positioning

1. Position for mobility.

• Keep in mind Forward Pressure when in offense.
• Be capable of moving offensively and defensively.

2. Position for distance.

• Keep in mind your opponents Critical Distance Line (will be covered in another lesson) when positioning.
• Be able to Bridge the Gap (will be covered in another lesson) effectively from your position.

3. Position for best defensive capability.

• Keep in mind your defensive choices.
• Try to keep key targets covered.

4. Position for best offensive capability.

• Keep in mind your line of attack.
• Be in a relaxed state which you can explode out of.

5. Position with the right psychological attitude.

• Be assertive.
• Be active or passive depending on how you want to set your opponent up.

6. Monitor your opponents positioning.
• Offensive technique (what can they hit?)
• Defensive capability (how can they be hit?)
