FAQ
Reader questions
How do I improve my shot speed without losing balance?
Focus on hip drive and minimal upper-body movement, using slow-speed repetitions to groove the pattern before adding full effort. Short resistance-band walks and paused setups reinforce control at every range.
What are the best drills for building explosive penetration steps?
Box jumps, wall-ball shots, and band-resisted penetration steps train triple extension and proper angles. Perform them in low volume but high intensity, followed by technical shadow wrestling.
How can I stay focused during long periods of inaction in a match?
Use a consistent pre-point routine, scan the opponent’s hips, and set small process goals for each minute. Controlled breathing and cue words keep your mind from wandering when points are not happening.
How do I adjust my strategy when facing a taller, longer opponent?
Close distance with underhooks, work body head positioning, and attack quick hand-fighting angles. Change levels frequently and use trips instead of forcing a deep penetration step. In range, tie up to reduce their base and create angles for near-side attacks.
