Controlling contact
Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.
what to do
- • Keep partner work light unless a coach has said otherwise.
- • Ask your partner if the power is right.
- • Drop the power immediately if asked.
what not to do
- • Do not increase the power because your partner did.
- • Do not treat a drill as a contest.
why it matters
Escalation is how drills turn into something nobody agreed to. One person keeping it light is usually enough to stop it.
quick rule
If in doubt, go lighter.
