Carl van Roon on Proactivity

In this clip Mr van Roon explains passionately about how you have to create an opportunity to counter in sparring. Proactivity in sparring means “making” your opponent react – and if he doesn’t then get close enough to make him have to decide what to do.

In the full video Mr Van Roon goes into detail about how being proactive is so important, and how it is much different to just being on the offensive, and how to make this work by picking up on your opponent’s habits.
