Distance: Near or far

“	Originally Posted By: Doughboy Well, at best, ranges are just words to help us when we train. They overlap into grey areas all the time, and as such, there are no real lines/barriers between them. I have been taught a few different approaches to range...	”

Thank you. My point exactly. How would you address the post then as i believe the definitions of range i provided defy those limitations.

It's simple. Just hit whatever target is available with the most suitable tool.

Im allfor that answer...Which should include bar stools.

And anything else for that matter.

“	Originally Posted By: bobblehead I like the free-movement, clinch and ground definitions for range.	”

“	Originally Posted By: bobblehead Not one comment on this? Personally i feel that the lines between the ranges being discussed here are misleading at best... As if there is some imaginary barrier between the range at which a kick happens and that of a punch or elbow... Yet the differences between free-movement and say the clinch are much more marked in terms of mobility, techniques available and the amount of control you can exert upon your opponent (or have exerted upon you).	”

Free movement I see as stand up and can be in any "range", while the clinch will bring you into close "range" and ground will eliminate any "range" from free movement.

For myself, nothing matters until someone steps into my sphere. Where that sphere resides is my decision.
