Practice makes perfect! The timing is really hard to get right. I was in the honor guards company and we used to yell a number for each movement in unison, it helped somewhat. As well as doing the moves in parts, so that you would always stop for 2 seconds between every move. And still before every ...

Loved the marching, I guess I must start practicing that as well :P By the way, one good tip to learn the rifle movements is to NOT MOVE when you are done with the move, even if you fail to do it properly.
