Objective

Convert learned vocabulary into spontaneous, intentional movement decisions.

How To Do It

Start from a known foundation, make one clear decision, then develop or contrast that idea rather than searching randomly.

Common Errors

Vocabulary disappears under pressure; repeated filler; no development of an idea.

If It's Too Hard

Use one movement and one restriction for 10 seconds.

If It's Too Easy

Increase round length, remove restrictions, introduce partner response and battle pressure.

How You'll Know You've Got It

Complete the round without stopping; show development rather than random movement.
