once you learn the basic stance and guard you have to implement Khum Cherng your "Fighting Attitude" when in a fight you're not going to
assume the fighting position and be static this will make you an easy target the first thing you have to do is to march marching essentially consists in shifting your body weight back and forth this will make your head and body move around making it harder for the opponent to hit
you and will plyometrically load the muscles of the leg which is like loading a spring, it
will make you more reactive and explosive the second thing you have to do is move the hands, you can move them up and down or as you like but make sure to not expose yourself, every guard has openings that can be exploited by the opponent but moving the hands around will make it harder to do that. The third thing you have to do is use your The third thing you have to do is use your lead hand it can be used to measure the distance, feint, jab, finger jab, and control. The use of the front hand will put pressure on the opponent it will act as a preemptive defense to mitigate their aggression and it will also help you control and manipulate setting up strikes the fourth thing is changing the level changing the level is a threat and a dodge it puts a lot of pressure on the opponent, especially when leg grabs are allowed, which can end in a throw it can be combined with the use of the lead hand to add another level of thread to lower areas and to set up actions The last thing is moving the head around this will make it harder to strike.
To train Khum Cherng start by practicing every movement one by one for at least one minute each then once you are more comfortable with them do one round by combining all of
them for at least one minute.
