👋 Hey Warrior,

We've spent the week talking about why being unpredictable is crucial…

…breaking patterns, messing with timing, and even using a little psychology.

But knowing isn't the same as doing.

To actually become less predictable, you need to train for it!

Drills for Breaking Habits

Think about how you usually train.

Repetition is key for learning techniques, right?

Absolutely!

But if we only repeat the exact same things in the exact same way, we build those predictable habits we talked about Monday.

That's where specific kinds of training drills come in.

The goal isn't necessarily to learn a brand new, fancy technique.

Instead, these drills aim to shake things up!

They’re designed to break your automatic pilot and force your brain and body to adapt to unexpected changes.

Drills where things don't go exactly as planned…

…maybe your partner doesn't react the way you expect.

…maybe you have to start from an awkward position.

…maybe you're asked to solve a problem using a tool you don't normally favor.

The purpose is to make you think on your feet.

It's about rewarding creativity and problem-solving, not just perfect repetition.

This kind of training helps bridge the gap between practicing set moves and applying skills in a messy, unpredictable situation.

It makes your martial art more adaptable and alive.

Final Thoughts

Becoming less predictable starts on the training floor.

Begin thinking about small ways you could introduce variety into your own practice, even in simple drills.

Stay safe, stay agile, and keep moving, Warrior.
