Different people require different psychological state before they hit the ring. Some people need to feel the pressure in order for them to get motivated and in high spirit. Some need to get calm and in relax state or they can not perform well. So, it is really a unique situation for everyone to know themself and what they are capable of.
Another important factor is to have a good guide to go with you in the ring. This is crucial since the guide will be your big brother and watching the game closely. He will analyse the game and the strategy used by the opponent. It is important to listen to your guide instruction even if you feel that it is not appropriate to execute certain moved. You need to trust the guide and the guide also need to know your capability before telling them what to do.

The Deadliest Weapon
Backthrust or back kick is the most destructive since the movement of the stance make the opponent open to this kind of attack. Let say both are in the close stance,
which make both fighters roundhouse kicks target to the close areas (back). However, when back kick takes effect it will hit the opponent right in the open (front).
Normally, this technique is used as a counter attack measure and rarely use for an attack. Let's look on how we can use this technique as an attacking tool. First, you may use the front leg to trick the opponent. Then bring down your front leg to the ground and launch the back kick. Caution when using this technique, since it will drain lots of your energy unless you are really tip top with your stamina.
Another word of caution is accuracy of this attack. If the back kick is direct hit on target, the opponent will drop half dead and will demoralise the opponent fighting spirit. It will make the opponent think twice towards attacking you. So this is the time when you setup the trap as describe in the previous posting under the title "Does having speed and skill enough to win a sparring?"

Does having speed and skill enough to win a sparring?
Having a good speed and skills are just a micro advantage. However in a ring you require a lot more than that. A macro strategy will determine you of winning or losing a match.
This is because different opponent will have different skills and speed and therefore the overall strategy is required to overcome the speed and skill of the opponent. The most effective strategy is to trap the opponent to attack and get ready for counter attack. This is achieved by taking a few steps back. You may know the opponent is in the attacking mode if he or she is advancing more than one step towards you. This may be applied if you alreading leading the game with extra points ahead. In the same light, you may attack the opponent first when they are in attacking mode. This will leave the opponent offguard and may not ready to launch a counter attack.
Remember, the idea is not to let them know you are coming and therefore attacking an opponent when you are in defensive mode is really a suprise. The trap may not be applicable when you are dealing with an experience opponent. He or she might sense that it is a trap and might be taking serious precautions by not attacking immeadiately. If this is the case you need to be careful as the opponent is also ready to counter you should you launch an attack.
Sometimes, it is not according to your game plan and you now have to rely on you speed and skill. Just remember to always be on a defensive mode even when you are in attacking mode.
