Hand Drills 3
We have stuck to hand drills this week because of the immense diversity of probability involved. Not the hum drum non contact sport stuff but nasty effective and efficient syncopation involving the complete hand elbow head arsenal at such close range. Once in range all hell lets loose, so fast and devistating with practice. Observe the YouTube clips and comment if you want.

Look at it this way: I have been working on those drills for 15 years. If a tennis player scores an ace, people think oooooh! If 2 players rally for 15-20 shots, people thing how good the both are. It takes years of practice and skill to do both. An ace is good but not always practical, to gain a point in a few moves is good too but to demonstrate a complete repertoire of play skills is a higher skill and proportionately more difficult to practice as nothing is set in play. Developing technique is one thing, developing a system of muscle memory and response stimulation during natural and un-natural response within time frame and space available takes years of practice. Technique is dimensional true but so is chaos and simplicity.

Opulently I agree but I dream the collection should prepare more info then it has.
From small acorns or a collection there of, a tree, a Forrest? Who knows? Everything gets lost in translation. Before you understand it, it make no sense, once you understand it, it makes perfect sense. One clip at a time.
