Street Fighter Moves - 4 Reasons Why You Should Train to Respond to Surprise Unrehearsed Attacks
How do you train? Or better yet, I should ask you, where do you train? If you train in a Traditional Martial Arts school, I can almost bet with 100% certainty that you spend little or no time training to respond to surprise unrehearsed attacks.
Now, I didn't say, mind you, that you don't practice sparring, but sparring in particular as it is typically done in the wide open spaces of a dojo, is not exactly the same as preparing yourself for a combat situation such as in a crowded room with lots of people and furniture or where an assailant jumps from out of the bushes and attacks you.
You absolutely MUST train yourself in situations that require you to respond to surprise and unrehearsed attacks.
And there are very solid reasons why you should find a way to make this at least a part of your fight training regime.
4 Reasons Why You Should Always Train To Respond To Surprise And Unrehearsed Attacks Reason #1 - Surprise Attacks Is The Way Real Attacks Happen - Maybe, when you think about it, one of the things that makes a fight a "fight" is that it starts and happens sometimes when you least suspect it.
If everyone were born ready to respond to every threat or danger or if we had some mechanism that would allow us to peer into the future to know when an attack were going to happen before it happens thus avoiding it would preclude our need to train and prepare for it.
In the real world, fights happen surprisingly and you had better have this mindset to respond to it.
Reason #2 - When You Practice To Respond To Surprise And Unrehearsed Attacks, You Develop Fighting Creativity And Spontaneity - You do yourself the greatest favor and service by being able to creatively respond to danger.
Even creativity, like everything else is made better and enhanced with practice.
Reason #3 - You Quickly Discover Your Strengths And Weaknesses - By practicing responding to surprise and unrehearsed attacks during training, you will quickly discover the strength and weaknesses of your techniques and your level of ability and skill to execute them.
Reason #4 - You Stimulate Your Adrenaline Reaction And Get Used To It - By for, one of the most important advantages of practicing with surprise and unrehearsed attacks is the stimulation and your natural acclimation to the adrenaline rush.
When you feel this adrenaline rush during a real fight, you won't panic and you will know how to use and transmute it to allow you to fight aggressively and forcefully without fear.
