It might sound banal, but I think It's important advice in the situation. Because the focus of the exercise is on the Footwork, you see the student often just give up when he thinks that his Footwork wasn't right. To me this is a really important point I took away from the Video. That I should move with the intent to hit, go through with the hit and not wait for the perfect movement to allow myself to hit. That's how you start being able to hit shots that feel impossible to get to until right as they happen.
Very useful exercise. I think so : need to lower center of gravity, after the serve moving to the left 1/3 from center line, and read racket moving: if moving right or left. And it is not guess and accurately excellent technics.
@@kenji2787 That is why you need to read the ball not just the opponent's action, not like the student waiting already just because Zhang Jike give you a fixed short ball. The student is not reading any. He failed to hit many. He expected to be a forehand after a short push, instead Zhang Jike will give the ball to the other corner. Is not too late whatever action opponent takes, you got half of the table to react. That is why you must read the ball, your eyes must follow the ball from other side of the table to your side of the table.
@wonghow it’s not that he’s not reading. He’s doing it because his footwork doesn’t allow him to get to the ball in time for the deep pivot forehand if he waits, so he tried to anticipate it instead. It’s not an easy exercise. I’d like to see you try to jump twice to the back hand corner in time at the moment of the directional switch.
@@kenji2787 yes he is not reading. And why he standing with bat already forward before Jike serve short ball? You never do that just because is fixed short ball. You only move forward after the ball is served. Then he guess the next ball, Jike says to him don't guess.
the student need to move foot in to hit the short ball, not waiting already. You cannot wait for a ball without reading the ball. Is about reading and moving, is not because Zhang Jike give you a fix ball you don't need to read. Need lower the stance
the point is to train the footwork. If play backhand don't need to move. Playing forehand on the backhand corner need to move faster, and is also a strategy top players use to hit down the line when the opponent expecting backhand return.
If you have done the multi-ball training, you should accomplish this Zhang Jike task. Is nothing special, standard coach give you same kind of training. Certainly, this student here, have not done or have not done enough multi-ball, his foot work is too slow.
Zhang Jike is already coaching many students that are kids with help of his father. What is so surprising about the private lessons? Timo Boll and Xuxin does the same, have their own coaching business. Still have many students. Even standard coach will charge you high fee. Xu Xin charges $500/hr in China RMB converts to my market over $100/hr and standard is $60. If occasionally, 1 or 2 times a year is ok, definitely not every time.
I recently learned that the cost is $700 per month, which includes daily courses and additional 2-hour sessions if he’s feeling like it. It is said that his primary goal is to help students use this skill to get into college (extra points and all). In fact, if a student shows exceptional talent, he’s even willing to teach for free.
This student is one of the top players at Chinese provincial level, which is equivalent to national level players of other countries except for possibly Japan or Germany. Maybe you didn't get what they are training for: this is a session on footwork. The student needs to do a short push on the forehand side, then immediately run to the far backhand side to do a forehand loop. ZJK asked him not to use his backhand. As far as I know this training is only practiced in Asia because they traditionally stress on attacking with the forehand.
@@shizheliang2679 provisional level? haha, this student is worse than club players I have seen. The training is not special, is common in standard coaching.
@@kenji2787 don't assume anything that people don't know table tennis here. I am only a club player and I trained with Chinese coach, Korean coach, and western coaches.
I never suspected that Zhang Jike was such a natural born comedian. Highly instructive as well as entertaining.
"Hitting is very important" Thanks, coach!
I just had to stop the video at that moment cause I was laughing and hoped others to also notice this highly useful advice :D

He is just great, would be nice to get lessons with him
Zhang is a fantastic coach
Very useful exercise. I think so : need to lower center of gravity, after the serve moving to the left 1/3 from center line, and read racket moving: if moving right or left. And it is not guess and accurately excellent technics.
lol love it when he is coaching.
Xie xie Coach Zhang Jike!! Learning so much just from watching
Man that's a hard training, the legs must be really explosive and the shot must be a winning one otherwise there's no coming back.
Very good training. I would like to get that training and train hours until i get better.😊
I am watching from Nepal❤
Very difficult 😢😢 can not predict the ball😢😢
E excelente desde Argentina y éxitos
Hahahhaha Love how he dies laughing at him hahaha
I am amazed that he still keeps such a low body fat and ripped physique. What a legend.
you should have seen his thighs, he was injured else he was quite good
amazing drill
That was what XiaoZhan his national coach training for him before. Now he use it to train the younger.
hi can you do tutorial for forehand chop and backhand chop away from the table for defensive player?
He has to watch the coach's paddle. Not just waiting for the ball coming.
i think the feeding skill is impressive
Impressive
That poor bloke! 😅
If I trained with ZJK for one week. I'd be twice as good. But also dead, probably.

Where Zhang do the live stream?
bihind the great firewall, i guess
@@ubetsa can I join the live stream?
@@thefitnessmaniac2819 Come join the great panda nation
china's tiktok, this is his new account's content teaching how to play
Zhang Jike should play again on international competition. He is too old yet!
He had a severe waste injury since Rio 2014. It was so bad, I don’t think he can play competitively anymore.
May I suggest you upload the original video without the ai generated voice over too?
should teach in steps - 1 - return ball, 2 return ball to forehand, 3 return ball return to backhand side, 4 return ball and random placement
Not watching the blade of my opponent after his serves is a big problem for me. You can't just guess.
I watched it and I couldn’t tell. He changed it at the last moment, at which point it’s too late.

why not back hand?

Dont practise this if you are above 50s..😂it requires stamina.

And will broke your knee 😂😂
Is ZJK basically doing private lessons for kids with rich parents?
liik at the top left corner it saxs AI generated

No. He has recently become an associate coach of a club. This is just one of the private training sessions. He also teaches group lessons.

don't you think it's good to be better at essential technics then use the knowledge of a Olympic champion like zhang jike ?
That guy is standing waay too upright and he leads his shots with the racket leaning into the ball. First you move and then you hit.
7:01 7:12 ❤❤
I thought Table tennis was easy😂
for “normal ppl” playing slow speed like grandma yea😂
"it looks easy" NO
This student looks very much like a beginner..lol
