[QUOTE=kfson;976954]Some can. It is called reading your opponent’s mind.[/QUOTE]
Some? Like who? Who are these people that are magical like unicorns? 
While we can read our opponents body, with enough training, we certianly can’t read his intent or mind.

I am open to seeing your evidence of “mind reading”.

me too and none of that kreskin shyte either. lol
[QUOTE=kfson;976924]But the ideal Shoot also ties up or neutralizes the arms.[/QUOTE]
Nah.
If he’s that high up on me…I’ll go for a throw.
[QUOTE=MasterKiller;976945]Shoot is a verb.
The technique is called a Shot.
You shoot for the legs. You defend a shot.[/QUOTE]
Ok, so…
you take a shot and shoot your shot, without catching a knee shot, or an elbow shot as you shoot for the leg shot. Once you’ve shot your shoot and you get the shot, you start landing the big shots until the other guy is totally shot.
That about right?

LOL, I can read a couple of minds right now…

Buddhists do it.
Daoists do it.
Hindis do it.
Rosicrucians do it.
Freemasons do it.
OTO members do it.
Indian “medicine men” do it.
And I’m sure they all do “IT” also, or at least their parents did..
i dont think about reading minds. but sometimes you can read a persons physical intentions. there are numerous factors involved though. ones perception and ablility to process the information quicly being paramount.
ive done it more than once and been right.
a ‘gut’ feeling, or what have you.

Being predictable is not the same as having your mind read.
You know, the problem with the original question is that most people don’t take a shot until they are already in grappling range to begin with.
I was always taught that if you can’t reach out and touch them, you are too far to shoot.
i like a shoot counter fumio demura did in masters magazine
he sprawled first then grabded the shooters gi at his back and drug him down face first to the floor then he slammed his head on the floor LOL:D
[QUOTE=David Jamieson;977030]Being predictable is not the same as having your mind read.[/QUOTE]
and thats a huge aspect in reading someones intention. predictability in the person, predictability in a forced situation, etc.

Well…it took three pages of posts for him to reveal himself.
good eye, though DJ.
As he’s taking the shot, through your coffee in his/her face, pivot counter clockwise off your back foot and run away. If you don’t have some coffee, don’t get into a fight with a grappler/shooter/ shotter.
Moral of the story don’t get in a fight unless you’re at a Starbucks.
A sprawl does not take you to groundfighting, nor must you be in an extended grappling situation after one.
A good shot does not usually tie up the arms. A shot is a leg attack, usually. It may clear the hands as part of the set up, but the opponents arms are most often free.
Knocking out your opponent before they shoot sounds nice, but most people find it difficult to just “knock somebody out,” when they don’t want to stand there and let you sock them on the night-night button.
If you want to learn to defend the shot, and stay on your feet, learn to sprawl properly. Simple, effective, and adaptable.
Any other answer, barring a projectile weapon, is retarded.

Good post with one exception. You can defend a shot without sprawling.
