What is Temple Tactic (Muai Wat)?

How to

The fighter starts using close-range techniques (Wong-Nai) to push the opponent into the defensive through continuous attacking.

The techniques used have no particular order, precision or impact, but rather the concept of unsettling the opponent and, at best, panicking. The fighter continues his attacks continuously, only to suddenly suspend at a certain moment and to observe the opponents reaction and attitude.

The fighter can then suspend the tactic first and continue the normal action or repeat the same tactic within a short time.

It is rare for this tactic immediately end of the fight. After repeatedly using this tactic, the fighter will perform a precise technique that in most cases leads to the enemy’s inability to defend.

This strategy is dominated by sham attacks aimed at carrying out a decisive attack favored by the opponent’s misresponse. If it turns out that the opponent has enough experience, the fighter will suspend the strategy due to the excessive risk and switch to another.

Fighters use this tactic more or less to test the opponent’s combat ability or as a prelude and enforce it only with a certain chance of success until the end.
