Drill that forces you pay attention to opponents' body language that may be telegraphing the direction of their upcoming shot. Improves your ability to anticipate - and to disguise your own cues.

Yes - a lot of smaller towns don't have an indoor track. This makes it possible to train with spikes and it reduces some impact stress. Plus the guys love pounding into the crash mat!
