Our first 20 days: Lesson 1 = 06/11/2017 to 07/01/2017 (Page 3 of 5)

Congratulations Ron !

On my recent practice sessions I've been also focusing on the two handed crossover. My combo practice hasn't changed in terms of feeling better or worse but the two handed crossover practice definetly fealt like I was making progress

Happy Cracking everyone!

All the best

Sven - make sure that there is at least one shoulder width between your feet. And bring your hip and upper body straight forward. At the moment you are standing on a line, which gives you a bad balance. At the last crack, turn your whole body into the crack. Then it will be much easier for you. And better

Robby

Thanks for the feedback Robby, I'll be sure to fix that tomorrow .

Today's practice is more of the same, I feel like I've got a decent handle on this (apart from the head turning, obviously).

Today I have been concentrating on trying to make the transition to the diagonal crossover more natural. It's not. But it's better than it was in the first practice.

Ron

Thanks Ben for mentioning that .
I do believe it will be a huge help. I appreciate it.

Ron

It's coming along nicely Ben.
I almost think that your off hand (right) is as good or better than your left hand.
Nicely done.

Ron

Thank's Ron and Matt!

I've been focusing on my off hand a lot during my recent practice sessions but I've decided to split the upcoming practice sessions to about 50% for each side. My goal is to perform equaly with both hands (and right now I have the feeling that my off hand practice is better than my strong hand practice).

All the best
Ben

Congratulations Ron!

Looking at you're previous videos, you're doing a fantastic job by keeping a contant flow while you're doing a combo!
I'm still struggeling with one or the other basic technique when it is beeing combined with another technique, but I still try to keep a constant flow despite the mistakes I make on those basic techniques.
I still have a long, long way to go in terms of techniques and in terms of keeping the flow but I think that focusing on the flow is just as important as focusing on the techniques while doing a combo.
The temperatures in my area have droped a bit which makes practicing a lot more comfortable for me. My recent practice sessions have been good and it feels like the rate of success went up a little bit. It also fealt like my strong hand practice did improve a little (compared to my last video).

All the best
Ben

That's looking very good Ben.

I did not practice the past weekend and I really had the feeling it was a step backward. On the other hand, I used all advice given here and I hope I interpreted it correctly.
