1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.180
This drill video is impact practice at home.
2
00:00:04.180 --> 00:00:10.500
So the easiest ways to practice impact are going to be either with the door jam
3
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:11.080
or yoga
4
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.600
block or with the impact fix.
5
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:18.630
Basically practicing the visual and all the little details of what it's going
6
00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:19.200
to be like
7
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:21.800
from going from setup to impact.
8
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.900
What is different at impact than it was at setup?
9
00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:29.380
The answer is a lot, pretty much everything is different, but focusing on the
10
00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:30.060
one or two
11
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:34.190
things that are most critical for your success will help make it that much
12
00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:35.420
easier when you're
13
00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:37.100
practicing on the range.
14
00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:42.410
Now just like with all the at home, I recommend doing it in multiple short
15
00:00:42.410 --> 00:00:43.700
bursts instead of
16
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:47.380
doing long drawn out repetitions.
17
00:00:47.380 --> 00:00:53.680
So doing 10 or so at a time every time you go to the bathroom, every time you
18
00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:54.500
go to the
19
00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:59.620
kitchen, there are great times for you to just reinforce what you're trying to
20
00:00:59.620 --> 00:01:00.400
train.
21
00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:05.800
Takes about a minute, but gives kind of refocuses or gets your brain paying
22
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:07.200
attention to this
23
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.690
and allows it to kind of process it before the next time you go out to practice
24
00:01:10.690 --> 00:01:10.940
.
25
00:01:10.940 --> 00:01:13.020
So highly recommend it.
26
00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:19.210
So if you're doing the door jam here, I've got the chair to represent the door
27
00:01:19.210 --> 00:01:19.940
jam.
28
00:01:19.940 --> 00:01:20.940
I can practice.
29
00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:23.500
Here's my setup position with my wrist here.
30
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:27.540
I got very little pressure and when I go to push, I feel it all in my shoulder.
31
00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:31.570
I know with impact, I want to feel it more in my core and in my legs, so I'm
32
00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:32.220
going to
33
00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:38.280
practice getting in that good impact position and kind of push with my arms as
34
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:38.940
my body is
35
00:01:38.940 --> 00:01:41.060
pulling slightly away.
36
00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:45.700
So as my body is lifting, my arms are pushing down.
37
00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:49.960
The other thing I can do is I can practice the impact fix so I can get setup
38
00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:50.540
and I can
39
00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:58.390
go from setup to impact, setup to impact, setup to impact, hold there for a
40
00:01:58.390 --> 00:01:59.420
second.
41
00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:04.980
Just kind of fine tune it, adjust it, go back to setup, go back to impact and
42
00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:05.580
just kind
43
00:02:05.580 --> 00:02:12.120
of get used to paying attention to where, how does it look when I get in the
44
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.340
good impact
45
00:02:13.340 --> 00:02:14.340
position?
46
00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:16.020
What spaces am I taking up?
47
00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:18.020
So I may be used to too.
48
00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:22.050
Okay, my normal impact is kind of somewhere around here but when I do this
49
00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:22.580
little impact
50
00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:26.340
drill, the handle is way out in front like so.
51
00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:30.720
So now I want to start getting used to coming in with that handle a little bit
52
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:31.300
more out
53
00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:32.300
in front.
54
00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:35.460
So it just gives you opportunities to focus on the key differences.
55
00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:38.160
The movements are going to be a little bit more critical for training at home
56
00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:38.620
than these
57
00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:42.660
positions but I still love training positions at home.
58
00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:44.580
a couple easy ways that you can work on impact.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.180

positions but I still love training positions at home.
58
00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:44.580
a couple easy ways that you can work on impact.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.180
This drill video is impact practice at home.
2
00:00:04.180 --> 00:00:10.500
So the easiest ways to practice impact are going to be either with the door jam
3
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:11.080
or yoga
4
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.600
block or with the impact fix.
5
00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:18.630
Basically practicing the visual and all the little details of what it's going
6
00:00:18.630 --> 00:00:19.200
to be like
7
00:00:19.200 --> 00:00:21.800
from going from setup to impact.
8
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.900
What is different at impact than it was at setup?
9
00:00:25.900 --> 00:00:29.380
The answer is a lot, pretty much everything is different, but focusing on the
10
00:00:29.380 --> 00:00:30.060
one or two
11
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:34.190
things that are most critical for your success will help make it that much
12
00:00:34.190 --> 00:00:35.420
easier when you're
13
00:00:35.420 --> 00:00:37.100
practicing on the range.
14
00:00:37.100 --> 00:00:42.410
Now just like with all the at home, I recommend doing it in multiple short
15
00:00:42.410 --> 00:00:43.700
bursts instead of
16
00:00:43.700 --> 00:00:47.380
doing long drawn out repetitions.
17
00:00:47.380 --> 00:00:53.680
So doing 10 or so at a time every time you go to the bathroom, every time you
18
00:00:53.680 --> 00:00:54.500
go to the
19
00:00:54.500 --> 00:00:59.620
kitchen, there are great times for you to just reinforce what you're trying to
20
00:00:59.620 --> 00:01:00.400
train.
21
00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:05.800
Takes about a minute, but gives kind of refocuses or gets your brain paying
22
00:01:05.800 --> 00:01:07.200
attention to this
23
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.690
and allows it to kind of process it before the next time you go out to practice
24
00:01:10.690 --> 00:01:10.940
.
25
00:01:10.940 --> 00:01:13.020
So highly recommend it.
26
00:01:13.020 --> 00:01:19.210
So if you're doing the door jam here, I've got the chair to represent the door
27
00:01:19.210 --> 00:01:19.940
jam.
28
00:01:19.940 --> 00:01:20.940
I can practice.
29
00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:23.500
Here's my setup position with my wrist here.
30
00:01:23.500 --> 00:01:27.540
I got very little pressure and when I go to push, I feel it all in my shoulder.
31
00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:31.570
I know with impact, I want to feel it more in my core and in my legs, so I'm
32
00:01:31.570 --> 00:01:32.220
going to
33
00:01:32.220 --> 00:01:38.280
practice getting in that good impact position and kind of push with my arms as
34
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:38.940
my body is
35
00:01:38.940 --> 00:01:41.060
pulling slightly away.
36
00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:45.700
So as my body is lifting, my arms are pushing down.
37
00:01:45.700 --> 00:01:49.960
The other thing I can do is I can practice the impact fix so I can get setup
38
00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:50.540
and I can
39
00:01:50.540 --> 00:01:58.390
go from setup to impact, setup to impact, setup to impact, hold there for a
40
00:01:58.390 --> 00:01:59.420
second.
41
00:01:59.420 --> 00:02:04.980
Just kind of fine tune it, adjust it, go back to setup, go back to impact and
42
00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:05.580
just kind
43
00:02:05.580 --> 00:02:12.120
of get used to paying attention to where, how does it look when I get in the
44
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:13.340
good impact
45
00:02:13.340 --> 00:02:14.340
position?
46
00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:16.020
What spaces am I taking up?
47
00:02:16.020 --> 00:02:18.020
So I may be used to too.
48
00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:22.050
Okay, my normal impact is kind of somewhere around here but when I do this
49
00:02:22.050 --> 00:02:22.580
little impact
50
00:02:22.580 --> 00:02:26.340
drill, the handle is way out in front like so.
51
00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:30.720
So now I want to start getting used to coming in with that handle a little bit
52
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:31.300
more out
53
00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:32.300
in front.
54
00:02:32.300 --> 00:02:35.460
So it just gives you opportunities to focus on the key differences.
55
00:02:35.460 --> 00:02:38.160
The movements are going to be a little bit more critical for training at home
56
00:02:38.160 --> 00:02:38.620
than these
57
00:02:38.620 --> 00:02:42.660
positions but I still love training positions at home.
58
00:02:42.660 --> 00:02:44.580
a couple easy ways that you can work on impact.
