Fakes

Faking.  It’s a simple enough concept.  Pretend to do one thing and then do another instead.  In sparring, you are best served faking with a technique that you have already landed on your partner.  This is because when they see the fake (insert name of previously successful technique here) their brain will yell “defend!  That hit us before so do something about it”.

With that in mind, tonight we focused on recognizing our most successful techniques in sparring and trying to use those technique as fakes in order to see what other options opened up.
