Pace

​It is your job to control how fast or slow a roll goes. Does that sound crazy? I don’t think so. Everyone trains at a different pace and if you’re training at someone else’s pace you are probably losing. It doesn’t matter the style of combat, the person who gets to fight at their desired speed is in control. Sometimes you may not be able to go your desired speed, but if you can play at an uncomfortable rate for the other person then you can use that in your favor. Control the action otherwise you will be controlled.
