What is one common sign of improved technique over time?

• A. Slower speed but with more effort.
• B. More errors but with confidence.
• C. Increased power with the same or reduced effort and improved balance.
• D. Decreased endurance and focus.

Answer: (C)

In improved technique, power grows without extra effort and balance becomes steadier. As you progress, you learn to generate force through efficient body mechanics—proper stance, hip rotation, core engagement, and smooth weight transfer—so you can deliver a stronger technique while pushing with roughly the same effort or even less. This combination—more power with unchanged or reduced effort and better balance—shows the mechanics are becoming clean and coordinated rather than simply forcing more effort. If you see slower speed with more effort, that suggests inefficiency rather than improvement. More errors with confidence means mechanics aren’t solid yet, even if you feel sure. Decreased endurance and focus point to fatigue, not better control. Keep focusing on alignment, breathing, and the sequence of movements to feel that growing power without added strain.
