I was talking to a friend of mine and we were discussing the drills in a dojo and real life. The problem as I see it is that you expect the opponent to attack you, even tho you don't know how, you know it is gonna happen.
We were thinking how this can be overcome and I figured out a way...but not sure if it is a good training drill or not.
What I was thinking is:
The teacher places a student on the mat and takes 3 other students on the side. He will tell one of the students who will attack. Then one at the time they go up to the defendant and simulate a fight (in a bar, car rage or whatever). 2 of the attackers will be calmed down by the talking of the defendant while the third one will attack (which doesn't have to be clear to see, he can also pretend to be fine with the talking and then attack, typical "sucker" punch). Or the drill can also be 2 defendant and 2 attackers, which 1 might not be attacking, or attacking only later on when the fight has started.
My friend says that there shouldn't be any difference in the drill, because theorically you should always be ready to fight. In my opinion instead, when you see in real life the other person tunring on a good side your reflexes tend to become slower because you feel "safer".
What do you think?
