Keys To Transition

Broken transition is useful for training the positions and movements of transition and getting over the barriers to making contact or face orientation from a specific location. While the pump drill is ideal for working on sequencing, timing, and rhythm, it is not as good at working on positions as the broken transition.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
The stroke is broken transition.
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:08,000
So broken transition is very similar to the pump drill, except instead of going through the
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:13,000
rhythm of the movement that you're trying to work on and then hitting it.
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,000
So just as a reminder, the pump drill would be kind of a one to where I get to practice
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
that transition a couple times and then go.
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,000
A broken transition is going to force you to do whatever movement you're working on and
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
then go ahead and swing through.
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
So the pump drill looks like this, where I pump.
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
And then I swing through trying to recreate the same motion.
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
The broken transition is basically, I'm going to, like let's say I'm working on this
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Jackson 5 during my transition.
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
So I'm working on the direction that my hips are going kind of like so.
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:55,000
So now, a pump would be, I'm going to Jackson 5, Jackson 5, go.
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000
The broken transition would be I'm going to Jackson 5 and then I'm going to try and find
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
impact or contact with the ground without going back up.
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:11,000
It's definitely not going to be able to hit it as far and the timing is going to feel a
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,000
little bit weird.
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,000
But for training positions, this can be a great way to overcome being uncomfortable with
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000
certain movements.
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Whether it would be what the arms are doing, whether it would be kind of the chest getting
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000
closer to the ground, whether it would be this Jackson 5.
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Maybe the big pieces of transition you can work with either the pump or the broken transition.
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,000
The hard thing about transition is because it's kind of a loading thing and not whole
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,000
lot is going on.
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
It's hard to do really short versions of transition.
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000
So you pretty much have to take full swings or full distance swings.
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
You can slow down tempo a little bit, but you have to take full swings in order to work
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
on transition.
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,000
So the two best ways that you can work on either with the pump drill or with broken
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,000
transitions.
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000
If you're working more on the timing, I recommend the pump drill.
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
If you're working more on these positions, I recommend broken transition to get over
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,000
that hump.
