Slowing everything down in Real Tennis is essential because of the small margin of error. And when you start making mistakes, the most important thing to do is to go against your instinct and wind down the game, not to allow to spiral down endlessly into even more mistakes. Jon Dawes is now Head Professional at Hatfield House Real Tennis Club, and as a younger player won the Under 18 British Open. 

In this episode of Martial Attitude Voice dedicated once more to the world of Real Tennis, he shares his career's insights behind the reality of training in a sport where everyone can be a worthy opponent, because of the handicap system and the peculiarities of each Real Tennis court which might provide the upper hand against you.
