How do you guys deal with linear fighters who have a good front/teep kicks, knee kicks, low round kicks?
They mainly spam kicks and fight very defensively and move forward or backwards, how can one close the distance without taking too much damage and light them up on the inside with punches?
Do you:
A) Keep pressuring and chasing them until you can work the inside with (risk taking a lot of damage)
or
B) Copy-Cat: Play their game and give them a taste of their own medicine. Back off /bait and let them come to you and fight very strategically with a lot of counter shots.
This is mainly from a Kyokushin perspective, so face punches aren't really an option. Which strategy is better?
