Today we are
going to look at chain a couple of techniques together, or follow up techniques
when the first technique does not go as planned.
No matter
your belt level it’s never too early to start thinking about what you would do
if a technique doesn’t work. I would argue that in most cases your initial
technique most likely will NOT go as planned. Think about it. A sudden attack,
panic reaction, your adrenalin in pumping, your attacker does not attack you
the same as your partners do in the dojo, all this adds up to a failed first
technique.
If your
technique does work great BUT! If not you had better know where you can go from
where you are. The only way to train for this is in the dojo. Start thinking
about what you would do if… Then take it to the dojo and try it out. Did it
work as you thought it would?
Start with a
technique. Ask your partner how they would stop it or prevent it. What would
you do in response? Can you use any of the techniques that you have already
learned in response? Remember the technique does not have to be exactly as you
studied it in class to work. There is likely more than one response to any
given technique, play with the different ways to prevent a technique and your
responses. Before you know it you just added a bunch of techniques to those you
know and have made yourself more effective at defending yourself.
Think about
it now because there won’t be time during the fight.
