Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Arms pump in opposition to legs for balance and rhythm.
  2. 2. Stay on the balls of your feet; never land flat-footed during fast footwork.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.

Regression:

Perform the drill in place before adding lateral or forward travel.

Progression:

Add a loaded carry or band resistance to increase the metabolic and strength-endurance demand.

Common Problems:

Arms not pumping — cue the arms to drive in opposition to create rhythm and reduce leg fatigue.
