Against techs you only have a chance after lvl 3-4 'cause your build will be ok.
If you want to make your move-set first, put all points in str. without looking for winnings. In matches you earn exp, this is really important to buy advanced techs. But before it happens, you'll have a lot of loses, have be patient.
But if you don't want it, spend points in Head Start in speed and Escape Artist, if you're str., build points in unstoppable blow to raise the attack bonus and make a decent finisher spending some points in rage to finish the tech with class
