Drill

Instructions

1. 1Have a partner faceoff against you using a variety of counter techniques.
2. 2React post-whistle based on what their clamp or rake does, not a pre-decided move.
3. 3Fight through jams and counter-clamps by keeping your base wide.
4. 4Debrief after each rep on which read worked and which was too slow.

What to focus on

Reading the opponent's technique in real time rather than pre-planning your move.

Common mistake

Running the same scripted exit regardless of what the opponent actually does.
