In reading the High Risk column in my latest Black Belt Magazine, Jim Wagoner wrote an article that contained a counter-criminal surveillance drill. What you do is get a buddy or two together, and have them get some people that you don't know to follow you around during the day. You have to watch to see if you notice anyone watching you, as to scope you out for prey. He mentioned making eye contact with someone who is watching you and turns away immediately (catching someone watching you while you are not watching them). At the end of the day, you get together and point out who you think was watching you (I guess describe clothing, appearance, etc.).

I thought that it sounded like an interesting drill to try, and that it could offer some valuable insight into being clued in to your surroundings.

Ideas? Thoughts? Comments?

It sounds like something good to do for an out of the dojo testing drill...

Like to test awareness in your black belts, I might do this, and have someone just come up and surprise them quickly and just walk off, haha.

I think it would be a fun awareness drill to try.

That definitely sounds like fun, and a good drill to try.
