So you’ve hit a plateau and don’t quite know where to go? You're not alone... trust me, I know.

As a youngster I never quite understood when I would see a martial artist in the park going through exercises in slow motion. I thought, “He’ll never fight in slow motion”. Fortunately I understand now that it is less about the speed at which you train and more about the precision of technique in each frame of movement.
Although I have been attached to the game for a lifetime, an injury forced me to see the game in terms of economy and strategy of movement as the rule. That changed my literal vision of the game to the point of being able to break the action (of play) down frame-by-frame with or without film. As I delved more deeply into that school of thought, I began to register less noticeable, yet highly efficient qualities of those who consistently played well. It changed my paradigm of who actually played well.
In terms of being machine-like:

The constant pursuit of what is optimal or most efficient forces players to focus on the 100th percentile of whatever (particular) function. This is dynamic for growth and a powerful mechanism for evaluation- especially for top level players. Many top players haven’t had a “real” opportunity to improve technically in a 360 degree manner for years. They typically improve more physically and become a bit wiser in their application, but their overall skill set remains the same.
Regardless of where a player is, the process of growth through Martial Arts of Basketball (MAB) is continuous and substantial!
The truth is… the higher you progress up the scale as a player, let’s say level 40, 50 or beyond, the harder it will be to find people to help you. At the professional level, players (at level 70 or higher) have an even tougher time finding opportunities to get better. It’s tough because “everybody” has a workout to share, but not necessarily a sound model for continuous “chartible” growth…”
The uncommon methodology of MAB will absolutely raise and refine the physical, technical, intellectual and emotional skill-set of ANY player. Moreover, it will prepare anyone for ANY style of play. “MAB is the past , present and future of basketball. I guarantee it will positively impact your player development efforts -immediately and continuously. "Join the Revolution"
