scared of a counter attack?

Many people slow down their attacks because of the fear of being countered by the opponent.
It's important to understand that anytime you strike, you take a risk of getting countered by your opponent, it's just how fighting works.
Since getting countered is going to happen anyway, don't let the fear of it slow you down, instead use it to your advantage and attack smartly.
Use the fact that you know your opponent will counter to set him up with fakes, and level changes, that will cause him to counter for nothing and leave him open for your attacks.
Train smart,
