I Am Flat on My Heels and Cannot Move When I Need To

01 · The Situation

You know you should move but by the time your feet respond, the punch has already landed. You are always just a half-step too slow.

02 · Your Turn

For one full round on the pads or bag, stay on the balls of your feet the entire time. If your heels touch the floor, reset. Notice where in the round you lose it — beginning, middle, end. Come back when you know how long you can hold it before your heels come down.
