Attack the guard before the target

When facing an opponent with excellent defence, sometimes the best tactic is to attack their guard instead of the target directly. Of course we can always work on getting faster, to telegraph our movements less etc, but the development of these takes time. Attacking the guard can give you some short term gratification. This video gives you some examples that you can try.

Thank you sensei, definitely noticed a few drills I would like to practice. I good at sen no sen techniques but when I want to initiate the strike I find that I’m the one that gets picked off. I’ll definitely work on collapsing my opponents guard onto them rather then pulling it away.
