Perception Speed and Hand-Eye Coordination

[Cross_Trainer]

What are some good drills that I could do that would improve my hand/eye and foot/eye coordination, and general perception speed?

 

Thank you for your help

For hand eye co-ordination:

 

Get a tennisball, a headband and a peice of elastic.

 

1.Attach one end of the elastic to the tennisball and the other end to the headband.

 

2. Put the headband on your head and adjust the length of the elastic so the ball hangs down to about belly button height.

 

3. Flick the ball up infront of your and punch it left-right-left-right etc.

I find this to be one of the best hand-eye, combat specific excercises that I have come across. It is also a from of eye traing.

 

just stand in front of your partner with-in stricking distance. one person attacks one defends. Targets can be ears, top of head, belt knot...all of these or just one. loose open hands are used to attack these areas as well as defend. relaxation is key. your speed must be slow to start...feint/faking increases to difficulty.

 

progress to using a fighting stance, attack/defend simutaneously, one hand against 2 hands, standing on one foot....endless other combinations

 

this is not a body distancing excercise so stay toe to toe in a stance or just within arms reach if you are standing up.

I like that tennis ball thing.

 

My favorite part of it though is when you give it to someone who has never used it before and they try it out, give the ball a real hard punch, and it comes back and smacks them stright on the nose.

I like juggling and hacky-sack.
