Q: What is the “Block Training” system?

A: Our method of teaching is what we call “Block Training” which is based on directed practice and repetition. Each block consists of 8 skills concentrations that, if repeatedly practiced, produces remarkable results. The key is to follow the progression of drills and to continue to refine those skills in the drills. The more “Blocks” you do the better you get, it’s that simple!
