The long range is the distance at which either combatant can strike with their longest attacking implement usually by kicking, by striking, or cutting with a weapon.
Advantages
Long range is ideal for kicking or for using a long weapon such as the stick or sword. In long range combat, you can protect your vital organs and still strike the opponent in a split second. Long range strikes are good for applying maximum force in every strike because you have enough space to create acceleration force with long, powerful weapons.
Disadvantages
The long range and neutral range have similar disadvantages due to the amount of time a long strike takes to reach its target. It is both slower and more difficult to conceal than a short attack. Long attacks also leave you vulnerable immediately after the attack because you must sacrifice some space and time to execute a long range strike properly. Give special attention to maintaining your guard between long range attacks.
How to attack
Long range combat is well suited to linear and thrusting attacks. Take advantage of the time gap between your attack and your opponent’s response by following up every attack with another. Make maximum use of footwork to cover and close the distance.
Tactics
Study your opponent’s speed and habits. Understand his style so you can adjust your timing accordingly. Use both regular and irregular rhythms to confuse your opponent and draw him into your attack. Attack decisively and follow-up every attack with compound combinations.
