Develop a Sparring Plan

Developing a plan

A proper plan will consider both the mental and physical aspects of sparring:

Mental

• Study opponents to gather information on their actions (such as does he counter punch) and inactions (such as does she respond to feigns).
• Determine what information is important.
• If needed, gather more information on important information.
• Decide what actions or inactions your need to use to overcome the opponent's actions or inactions.
• Have alternate actions or inactions to use if primary ones fail.

Physical

• Execute your chosen actions or inactions at the proper time
• Conserve energy by using it judiciously.
