Bulgarian Bag Agility Drills
Bulgarian Bag Partner Hand Eye Agility Drill
This movement is a great hand-eye coordination and agility drill. There are a couple of components that make this drill effective:
- Requires excellent Eye–hand coordination (or hand–eye coordination). What is hand-eye coordination? It is the coordinated control of eye movement with hand movement, and the processing of visual input to guide reaching and grasping along with the use of proprioception of the hands to guide the eyes. Thanks Wiki!
- We repeat the normal movement pattern of a power snatch
- We have to learn to loft or toss the Bulgarian Bag at the right pressure and force to deliver it in a catchable condition for our partner
- There is a timing and rhythm component to the movement allowing for a nice flow in the drill if done correctly.
Performing the drill is relatively simple, or so you would think. It takes practice to develop the skills necessary to perform this movement so it looks fluid and graceful.
