Read your opponent: Competitive matches are a lot easier to win if you know what your opponent is going to do before he does it. Unfortunately our opponents don't tell us what they intend to do prior to doing it. Sometimes they even deceive us by creating an appearance of wanting to do one thing and then actually doing another. However, the body does not lie nearly as much as the mouth – you must learn to READ what an opponent really intends to do through observing his , MOTION and LEVEL among other things. If your opponent holds his body in a certain way, it will enable some kinds of action and prohibit others. This will immediately you clues as to what he intends to do. If you feint movements you will get a chance to read his responses and get good into his counter game. USE THE INTIAL ENCOUNTER AT THE OF THE MATCH AND EVERY SUBSEQUENT TIME YOU RE-ENGAGE WITH YOUR OPPONENT TO HET INSIGHTS INTO WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO. You've spent your entire learning to read people's eyes and body to make assessments as to what they're really thinking in every aspect of your life from business, friendships, dating etc. Now you must learn to do it in Jiu jitsu
