How dangerous are you when you roll with training partners and opponents?
If you’re too defensive, if you’re not posing too much of a danger to your opponents, then you’re going to be on the losing end much more often than it should be the case.
John Danaher explained the importance of posing a threat:
An opponent who feels no threat from you will approach you with full confidence and have no concern for what you will do to him and focus upon what he will do to you – this will be a difficult opponent to contend with.
An opponent who feels a genuine threat from you at every moment of a match will approach you with a spirit of timidity.
He will be focused primarily upon what you might do to him rather than what he must do to you – this will be an easy opponent to contend with.
Therefore, your game plan should resolve around posing threats to your opponents:
Make sure then, that you establish a genuine threat to your opponent at every opportunity – it will have a massive effect upon his disposition toward you and therefore upon the outcome of the match.
