Attack mindset
Your do not get points for blocks, only attacks. So follow every block with an attack. Keep an attack mindset. When everything you do is an attack, your opponent has to be defensive all the time. With an attacking mindset, you see openings easier. Most sparring sets flow between attack and defense. Sometimes it seems as if the fight is choreographed; one attacks, the other blocks, and vice versa. Keeping an attacking mindset allows you to tip this flow in your favor. By attacking more than your opponent does, you will increase your chances of scoring.
