  • Today we are going to work on QUICKNESS.
  • QUICKNESS refers to the speed of transitions from one move or combo to the next.
  • This is important because without QUICKNESS your performance becomes less engaging for the audience.

Here are the three ways that we are going to improve your QUICKNESS today:

1. Have QUICKNESS through transitions. 2. Have QUICKNESS with releases and rolls. 3. Have QUICKNESS in strikes and combos.
