01 · Isolate the input
Practice one movement or cancel without an opponent until the sequence is repeatable. Say each input out loud before adding speed.
Turn ideas into habits.
Use short, repeatable drills to make control, timing, and decision-making visible in your own play.
02 · Add a target
Repeat the mechanic against a stationary target, then vary distance and direction so the movement is not tied to one visual cue.
03 · Add a decision
Choose between two responses based on the opponent’s movement. The goal is control, not simply executing the fastest pattern.
04 · Review the miss
When a drill fails, identify whether the problem was input order, angle, distance, timing, or an incorrect read before trying again.
05 · Vary the pattern
Mix front-to-back, side-to-side, full drift, half drift, and zero drift so your offense remains adaptable.
06 · Teach it back
Explain the mechanic to another player or write the decision rule in one sentence. If you cannot explain it, you probably need another slow repetition.
