6.1 Footwork Training

Knowing how the footwork works is one thing. Able to apply it to the real game is another thing.

You can't just apply the 'theory' that you know. You need to make them come naturally.

That is why, you need to keep on practicing the footwork and court craft, so that it becomes second nature to you.

Not only will doing these shadow footwork improves your .....footwork, it also imitates the real game play in such a way that, you make yourself get use to the tiredness of the front/back/sideways movement.

Each category is done in 3 sets.
