Hands up, knees bent. Eyes forward, looking at the shoulders. Move the head, hands, and feet. Move in fast, move out fast. Work the jab. Lateral movement to trap the opponent. Relax - don't think - be yourself. The feint must penetrate, and convince the opponent, and the true attack must follow quickly. Find the opponent's rhythm, follow it, then steal the pace and press the advantage. Slip the jab. Bob and weave. Tight guard, compact technique. Attack by combination. Attack by drawing.
