Door drills: how many times before it becomes reflex?
-
#1 Week 10 at SIA and I still hesitate on one door type. How many repetitions before it is automatic?
-
#2 Instructor here. Around thirty full sequences per door type for most people, more if you practise the words separately from the movements. Say the commands out loud in your room with your hands doing the motions. It feels silly and it works. The hesitation goes away suddenly, not gradually.

#3 Thirty. I am at maybe twelve. Talking to my door in the room tonight.
