My primary tactic is switching ranges at the last moment to make them miss, then I exploit the range I've chosen. This doesn't always work, but it's most successful when I adopt a diffused gaze at my partner's sternum. This way I can see both the shoulders and the hips, which are the basis for most techniques. This method can also lessen "tunnel vision" in survival stress situations, I've been told, but I haven't experienced that since I've been training.

The diffused gaze, sometimes called a "fighter's gaze", increases peripheral vision as well.
