After I started martial arts I did noticed that my reflexes got faster. But you should keep in mind that you also need accuracy. You can be the fastest person on earth if you can’t hit your target, you failed.

One thing that I recommend, it is something we use in our school. Try using this new targeted sparring gear. It is great for developing aim and speed. You can find is almost everywhere now. Check out there web site at zaigear.com

I am telling you it is amazing how much sharper you become.

actually whats really wierd, is when drop something i used to freeze up and not really do anything like if i droped a plate, however now probably because of martial arts, i catch the object without even thinking about it, its kinda cool.

I've noticed an increased "body awareness", in that when I move my arm or leg it's getting better at being where I expect it to be. Being sedentary for so many years made me lose that. When I started MA, I noticed it. Now, it's not so obvious.

I don't know if my reflexes are quicker - having three small kids at home makes one pretty good at catching stuff heading towards the floor and saving kids from getting hurt.

Its kinda crazy how you do things without even knowing. Like my sensei's told me two stories about how they were at a wedding and the bride and groom where making a speach and they were foucsed intently on them and a candle from the cake next to them fell and both there hands without even noticing shot out to catch the candle then they were like whats that so they look to the side and saw it in Merricks hand (He's taller than his wife tracy (other sensei)). Another story is that they were at a Flea Market and Merrick was talking to a man and behind him two pots from a stall fell and were about to crash and without even thinking merrick spun around and caugth the two pots and turned around and kept talking.

So its not so much your reflexes get better, its kinda your actions get better and if something is coming at you you are more likeign to get outta the way, also your awareness gets better without you even realizing it.
