Intro
Good drills mirror real matches. The goal is reproducible scenarios that train decisions, not just flashy execution.
Practical Examples
- Movement block: short hop and fast-fall rhythm for three minutes.
- Punish block: record unsafe option and whiff punish recovery window.
- Ledge block: practice covering two ledge options with spacing discipline.
Common Mistakes
- Grinding one combo route for entire session.
- Running drills with no pass/fail criteria.
- Ignoring difficult scenarios that actually lose your stocks.
Focus First
Build a weekly drill card with four drills and clear completion targets.
In-Match Adjustments
- If drill success is low, simplify scenario first.
- If drill is easy, add adaptation layer.
- If practice feels stale, rotate matchup-specific reps.
Quick Tips
- Keep drills short and focused.
- Always tie drill to a match problem.
- End with one pressure simulation set.
