KEYNINJA DOJO

Practice ASDF JKL; without looking down

Once both hands can find the home row, short alternating drills help connect the eight home keys into a stable typing rhythm.

Start with mirrored patterns

Try asdf jkl; fdsa ;lkj. Move slowly enough that each finger presses its own key.

Then use mixed combinations

Mix the keys instead of repeating the same pattern forever. Short combinations force your fingers to recognize position rather than memorize one motion.

When to add more keys

Do not wait for perfect speed. Once you can complete several rounds accurately without looking down, add G and H, then begin reaching to the top row.

Practice it now

Open the interactive Dojo at this lesson and keep training until you can complete three accurate rounds.
