For anyone considering trying to learn a throttle blip technique and especially for those who may have tried but were unsuccessful I have some suggestions.

Before focusing on the physical aspects, make sure you understand the why and when portion including knowing at what stage of the braking process this should occur. Hint: trail braking probably should not be on your mind at this point.

Moving on to the physical side, consider breaking down the technique into steps that will build muscle memory. Start with simply braking using only the right edge of the pedal. Most people have years of stepping on the center of the pedal which needs to be unlearned before adding throttle blipping. When you are ready, try both the foot roll and traditional heel toe technique with the car sitting in neutral until you can maintain steady brake pressure while also completing a throttle blip. Next move on to an empty parking lot and add actual downshifting to the equation. This all may seem remedial but taking actual traffic conditions out of the process really contributes to skill development.
