--Technique Variation or Changing Technique Mid Throw.

At Spring Camp, Roni Sensei interpreted this as delaying the decision or commitment to a specific technique until the last possible moment.

When we practice a technique, it is a foregone conclusion, and we practice adaptation to conditions to execute that technique.

In real application, pre-selection does not and should not exist.  Our instincts and muscle memory should take us to a safe place and the aggressor to a point of maximum options.  In that instant we can then choose how to dispose of the attacker in the safest and most appropriate fashion.
