8. FAQ ❓

How many counter shots should I throw?

Keep it to 1–2 shots, then pivot or reset. Longer counters usually make you stand still and get hit back.

Should I pivot every time?

Not always. The rule is pivot OR reset. If your angle is clean, pivot. If space is open, reset to distance safely.

Are these drill tables good for beginners?

Yes. Beginners should use slower speed and focus on stance, guard, and balance before adding faster counters.

How often should I do this 30-minute block?

1–2 times per week is perfect. You can also add a mini version (10 minutes) after warm-up as a reminder block.

Should sparring be hard in this session?

No. Keep it technical. Hard sparring destroys timing practice and makes you forget the pivot + reset habit.
