Training Drills

One thing you could do is look into Loren Christensen's books Solo Training and Solo Training 2. They are full of drills that may be fun for you.

Seconded. I have the 1st one.

They really are some great books. You can just open it up to a page, and take a workout into all kinds of variations. I love these books.

The drill I listed is actually in one of them, I think.

I tried that drill yesterday. I used the radio instead so I could use my bag as a target and it got quite intense. Especially seeing as there was this kid at one point who couldn't think of anything to say but "and, and and..."

Good deal! Glad to hear it worked for you. Keep at it, and you can even change the words, to get a different cue.

Here is a drill for you to try:

When you watch TV, you can listen for certain words, and use them as auditory cues to throw a technique. Use, for instance, the word "and." Whenever that word is said, throw your technique. It will help to build some reaction time.

I just tried that with the movie Cheech and Chong Up In Smoke and the word "man". Man, am I tired!

That's nice!

I find that using some words that aren't as popular can help with working kicks, or combinations. They give you some space to react in, before having to jump right into the next move.
