Some training drills can be both simple and effective. Once you’ve learned
defenses from two different types of chokes, simply close your eyes, stand
passively, and wait for your partner to attack you with either of those chokes.
Once you feel the attack, open your eyes, realize which attack is coming, and
react immediately and appropriately. This is the simplest version of a stress drill,
and it’s quite effective.
More intense versions of these drills include distractions and disturbances. Here
is an example involving one defender, three people with large pads, and one
attacker. The pad holders begin to hit and push the defender, who can cover
himself but cannot attack the pads. He allows himself to be jostled around so that
his balance and vision are impaired. At any time, the attacker can grab the
defender with any attack (limited to those attacks the defender has learned to
deal with). The defender must react immediately. The pad holders then
immediately go back to disturbing the defender.
