Extra sensory cheating is not a practice you ever want to get into.
This applies often to studio type training where it is more choreography and totally expected unrealistic threats very different to the real world of sudden aggressive shock actions on encounters.
This applies not only to the training combatant but also to their enemy per training partner.
Often training partners that are aware of your primary skills will target post evasion positions over engaging you where you were prior to evasion.
This is what I call extra sensory cheating and playing games instead of training the combative way.
You must always assess and never guess never perceive or presume and you must respond to the actual threat with expedient entry assault.
Train the combative way with the factor of confusion always present and with sudden aggressive shock actions being the reality.
Keep your mind open and clear so as to be able to assess recognise and identify the threat and employee the best means of threat neutralisation.
