Today was a technical session where once again we break down the rudiments of gyakuzuki. A couple of students in particular have problems with distancing which in turn affects their timing. Each participant donned the body armours and started to drill the technique. With feedback we chipped away and systematically ironed out the difficulties. We then progressed the technique by the opponent adding pressure and trying to pull the counter puncher. The counter punchers aim is to keep cool under pressure and only go when they are sure to strike effectively. Like a sniper, one shot in the barrel, one kill and deadly accurate.
Whilst I was giving feedback I run away with myself and went into commentry mode. The participant kindly reminded to 'shut up' lol as they could not concentrate with my constant ramble. As a coach I have to be mindful to shut up and recognise when understanding has been demonstrated.
