TODAY'S TIP (via Al in a 2010 Tuesday evening class): You can train to disrupt even a big guy's motion by "getting there first": launch from your root to drop right on top of his limbs/body just as he begins to move, i.e. before his movement has developed much energy. Whatever he does from there, he's screwed, as you're in close and on balance in perfect striking position. This requires high levels of balance and subcortical visual sensitivity.
I recently by chance came across a series of training tips I wrote back in 2010. Figured I'd gradually repost them here for students' benefit. Some of the tips have been restated or clarified more recently, but I'll include all of them to avoid painful editing time. ;)
