Question From Fazon: Cael how do you angle yours shots because i dont know how to angle them and what do you mean by “Throw those hands” to make your shot faster and what else makes your shot faster please help thanks.

You angle your shots with your foot work and by moving your opponent with your hands and tie ups. if you have an opponent that is tough to move, hold them in position and you move to the attack position and angle you want.

When I say to throw your hands I mean to shoot your hands like you are throwing a punch. Shoot your hands with your thumbs down (pointing at the mat) for increased speed. Also, pull yourself into the legs to increase your speed. Having a good penetration step increases your speed. Drive off your back foot. Shoot directly to the leg instead of the common dropping your butt down and shooting. And practice a lot. Good luck
