correct.
● In this case, “accurate” refers to hitting an intended target with absolute precision.
● The term “correct” pertains to delivering enough force to cause significant injury.
● Violent situations require these qualities for obvious reasons – survival being
perhaps the most key.
3. ● The concept of “deep practice”, where rapid motions are trained very slowly, is
nearly ubiquitous in all disciplines, from music to golf to weight training.
● By examining a given movement very slowly, extraneous motions can be
discarded.
● At the same time, proper movement is reinforced.
● Similarly students can create undesirable habits by practicing too quickly.
4. ● During slow practice, mistakes manifest one by one, which makes them easier to
eliminate.
● The many benefits of deep practice are discussed at length in Dan Coyle’s book
“The Talent Code”.
● Tim Larkin, creator of Target Focus Training, has taught combat techniques to
military, law enforcement and civilian sectors for nearly 20 years.
