33. Avoid trying to fire, when you are off balance instead of covering up and clinching, or tactically dragging your opponent to the ground.
34. A real fear of all fighters is not knowing how to avoid underestimating your opponent and then finding yourself falling way behind in the fight. Great fighters deal with this problem by never letting down their mental guard, realizing that all opponents are tough.
35. A mistake of both new fighters and those who are improperly trained is the habit of only firing at the target, hoping, instead, of always firing through the target with conviction.
36. One of the most frequently make mistakes is to allow your opponent to back you up constantly. Few fighters know how to fight moving backwards, especially with their weight on their heels. When you are moving backwards, you are likely to leave yourself open with squared up shoulders. Another danger is that this retreating style of movement increases the momentum of their opponent’s attack.
