Disrupting the anticipated timing of your opponent’s techniques to reduce or eliminate their effectiveness.
Just as every technique has an optimal distance for execution, every technique also has an optimal timing for its completion. When you understand the techniques being used against you, you can take control of the “clock” to disrupt their timing and supplant their desired outcome with your own. Clock Principle applications are generally defensive, and you disrupt timing by either slowing down or speeding up your opponent’s clock. Often, disrupting your opponent’s clock by one or two seconds is enough to completely derail a technique!
