Condition well enough to train 3 days a week after the first of the year!!!

No film today, but put a big focus on hand fighting during the two rounds I had. spent some time trying to he fluid in my footwork while not letting my partner secure a collar tie and if they did, quickly strip grips and look for 2-on-1’s. Next focus was creating some sort of off balance in order to make their lead leg lighter for knee picks or single leg entry's. Was able to secure 1 take down in my first round and none in the second because well… it was with Andy lol

This question comes from when does a shooter shoot? When hand fighting and faking. What are some key tells that give us the highest chances of catching our opponent off guard during our takedown attempts? Is there anything we can look for during drilling that will allow us to learn the muscle memory of noticing these details?
