Tonight in class we worked on several applications and techniques. One of which was the helmet crusher. This one is interesting, it is one I have always enjoyed, you can spend many hours of practice just on this technique, perfecting the little details can be overlooked.
I certainly had to put my thinking cap on when it came do doing this technique on the other side. It is not something I do as often as I should apparently. I realize now just how beneficial practicing these kinds of techniques on both sides is. We practices our basics both left and right. Punches, kicks, blocks, etc. This is no different. It builds that muscle memory and skill we need to progress in our art.
Being proficient at your techniques only on one side does not make you truly proficient. Practice ALL your techniques on both sides, you may learn something you did not even know you were lacking.
