Way back in my martial arts training days, if my coach saw something that we weren’t doing right, we’d have to do some sort of repetitious drill to perfect the technique. In competitions, if we were having problems with a particular fighter, he’d analyze the fight, come up with a strategy, and drill it until we were ready to use it. Whenever there was any kind of problem or deficiency, you can bet we were doing drills until an arm or a leg fell off.
All of that repetition seemed cruel and unusual at the time, but when it came time to use what we were practicing, we were thankful for all the drill work.
