You could do the drill at a slow enough pace people can win at it. But nobody does.

Yes they do. Not everybody, but not "nobody". There are absolutely people that do this drill at distance rather than directly in the pocket, and slow enough that people should be able to react/'win'.

Well yeah. I do it right. But that was from years of trying to understand that even though I could pull counters off in sparring and fights I could never pull them off in drills.

To be honest is was once I started going against good guys in sparring. Because they would be on me faster than I could react. And I was like. I have to set this up or I just get jumped.

Which sent me down the rabbit hole of learning how to move safely though the space. Rather than see and respond.

Which is the difference between a terrible fighter. And a not so terrible fighter.

But it doesn't matter who does it. Or doesn’t. Unless O.P does it. And that is the reason he can't get good at drills.

Because that's the issue we are trying to solve.

That's the whole reason I asked him at first to see what the issue actually was. Since it could be this, but I've also seen plenty of people where it's just a matter of them panicking and having flinch reactions unless they know exactly what is coming and when.

Though from his other responses, that doesn't seem to be the case. So I guess discussing it further doesn't really help him out at this point lol

they think one day they will get fast enough.

They won't.

Agree with you 100% on this. People train in slow speed and believe that one day they will be able to move with "lighting speed". It will never happen.

Don't know about "winning" in a drill..


In FMA they have flow drills, to develop rhythm timing, distance, range and angle perception
They start slow, to fast after awhile....

Not so much about catching one movement, as being able to continue the flow and develop a sense of timing, and ability to adjust an adapt to different timing. .

In CMA the have similar drills for the same purposes..

Flow drill is different.
