The Turtle Strategy (カメ 作戦, Kame Sakusen) is a defensive guarding strategy where one curls their guard up like a turtle and wait for an opportunity to attack.
Usage[]
The user erects a tight guard that covers as much of his front area as possible, then waits for the right moment to launch a counterattack. The opponent will usually get frustrated and throw a wide swing in an attempt to crack open the guard, at which point the user comes out of his shell and counters. The user can also use the strategy as a way to wait for the round or match to end.
The strategy can fail if the user has a weak guard at the body, as the opponent can use a body blow to lower the user's guard.
