Other Information

“Patterns of Response”

Often used during sparring, “patterns of response” refers to how your partner or opponent will respond to your techniques. As you spar, your opponent will likely learn to read your movements and predict your techniques. In other words, he or she will learn your “patterns.” This can be used to your advantage by strategically changing from a predictable movement to an unpredictable movement.
