“If you can build up a keen sense of distance, you can begin to develop your ability to control the space between yourself and your opponent. By being in control of the distance, you take control of the match.

Your opponent continually chases after you. They feel perpetually one step behind, yet they are still compelled to try and keep up. They never seem to find themselves at quite the right distance to initiate a successful attack. Becoming impatient, they find themselves launching desperate attacks at inopportune moments.”
