Karatekid04 Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Is it a good thing if you have good eye and hand coordintion for TKD? What can improve your eye and hand coodination? "Smarts and Power will always Overcome"
aefibird Posted July 5, 2004 Posted July 5, 2004 Good hand/eye coordination should help you in any martial art. I'm not by any means an expert but I would have thought that practicing throwing and catching a ball would help h/e coordination. Playing racquet sports would probably help too, such as squash or badminton. The thing that really improved my h/e coordination was learning to juggle! I'm probably a 'brown belt' in juggling - I can do 3 balls or other objects. My party trick is being able to juggle baked bean tins!! lol "Was it really worth it?

gheinisch Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Hand/eye coordination is very important in Martial Arts as well as other things you do in everyday life. Oh Aefibird, I would like to go ahead and book you for my next party if possible. "If your hand goes forth withhold your temper""If your temper goes forth withold your hand"-Gichin Funakoshi
muaythaifreak Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 Spread you hand out on the table, palm down. Take a knife and try to stab the table between your fingers as rapidly as possible over and over again going between each finger and back again. Just kidding, don't really do this!!!

Luckykboxer Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 like anything you do hand eye coordination will be a decisive figure on how good you are at it. such as typing on a keyboard, the better hand eye coordination you have the faster you will be able to type. any sports you participate in will help you generate greater hand eye coordination. depending on how your hand eye coordination is now will depend on what you want to do, if you are average then the more activity you do the better you will get. If you have a problem with it then some suggestions are to get cups and practice stacking them, alternating hands and speeds. Also get a soccer ball and kick it around your yard, see how many times you can kick the ball int he air before it hits the ground. get jigsaw puzzles.. start with an easier puzzle and work your way up to harder puzzles. if you really want to push the edge you can buy these boards that are about 3 feet by 3 feet with approx 900 lights on it. The machine randomly lights up sections of the board and you are to touch that section and depress it and this will light up another section. you can change the speed and timing and set the calibration for the accuracy to be as loose or tight as you want so to speak.

Ant Posted July 6, 2004 Posted July 6, 2004 such as typing on a keyboard, the better hand eye coordination you have the faster you will be able to type.. Except you shouldn't be looking at the keyboard when you type Orpington Shotokan Karate Club
