Don't Give Signals What You Are About To Do For Self Defense

Do you notice something when you practice martial arts with your training partner?

You apply a technique for the first time. Your training partner is not able to figure out what you are about to do. And you do very well applying that technique or strike. When you do that again, you will not find it easy to apply that.

Why is this happening?

Now your training partner figures out what you are going to do. He will not stand there, so he makes his move as a defense. And that's the reason, you find it difficult to apply the same technique next time.

Whether someone practices martial arts or not, he or she will do something for self defense. It also applies to the attackers. When you are being attacked, and the attacker figures out what you are going to do to defend yourself, you will find it difficult to do that.

You do not need to stand in a fighting stance at the beginning of the fight. If you stand in a fighting stance, that gives an obvious signal that you want to fight or are ready to fight. As a matter of fact, we always try to avoid a fight. If you want to avoid a fight and stand in a fight stance, you are giving the wrong signal.

Even if you decide to fight for self defense, make your move from there without showing any signal. When you fight and your hands are up, you can strike from there. Do not do something that shows how you are about to attack the attackers.
