Use the ^LT^ Body Modifier for Punches to target the body. Body Strikes in Ground and Pound cause Stamina reduction for your opponent. If your opponent opts not to defend their body, they will take a Stamina penalty which opens up the opportunity for Transitions or Submissions.

**Inputs:**

^LT^ + ^X^ or ^Y^

Your objective with Straights and Hooks is to keep your opponent guessing between Head Movement and Posting against strikes. The better you switch up between strikes, the harder it is for your opponent to guess or react to your strikes. Elbows can cut your opponent but will force you to posture down.

**Inputs:**

Straights with ^X^ or ^Y^

Hooks with ^LB^+X^ or ^Y^

Elbows with ^RT^ + ^X^ or ^Y^
