Getting out of a bad situation is good – but much better is getting out of a bad situation and IMMEDIATELY counter ATTACKING so that you seize the initiative of the match again. For every escape there is always a critical point where you have broken away – THAT is the point where your mind should switch from defense to offense and change your action from escape to attack. Don't be satisfied with getting out – aim higher and look for counter attacks the moment you pass the threshold of escape.
