@melissabratic: Try these simple exercises to help increase your hand-eye coordination, hand speed and focus. Make this sound better: as I mentioned in an earlier post, I always like to carry a tennis ball on me. Here’s how I like to use them 1. Starting off super simple, this exercise is great to learn how to follow the ball and coordinate between tossing and catching. Once you’ve got the hand-eye coordination down, try to focus on keeping your elbows tucked and building hand speed with the back hand. 🏎️ 2. Once you are comfortable with the first exercise progress to the second one which now puts your punch cleanliness to the test. Start by extending your front hand out while holding the tennis ball in a downward position. Now release and use your back hand to quickly grab it while keeping aiming to keep the ball in the same position from where you dropped it (more or less).You can measure how quick and clean your back hand is depending on where you catch the ball. The closer it is to the point of release, the quicker your back hand is. ⚡️ 3. And level 3, place the tennis ball above your front hand while it is fully extended. Now retract your front hand to your chest (focusing driving your elbow back) then quickly fully extend your arm out in order to catch the ball. This one may take some time but keep at it and you’ll get it. 💫 The focus of all these drills is to keep your punches as clean as possible. You’ll be able to tell right away if they aren’t since it’ll be much more dofficult to catch the ball (the ball never lies 🤪🎾). Once you have the cleanliness is down, focus on increasing speed. See if you can get your hand back into position while letting the ball almost fall into position 🙌🏼 ✨ Another point: get comfortable with allowing your body to move forward and back with the hand and to pivot your back foot 👊🏼 without the boot that’s how I would demonstrate it 😂 #handspeed #karate #karatepunch #punc #fasthands #increase #speed #martialarts #martialartist #martialartstok #trythis #foryou #foryourpage #foryoupage
