Throwdown0850 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Training reaction time is a good idea. However, one should keep in mind that action is always faster than reaction.mmmm True but not 100% of the time, reaction can be faster believe me.How? Anticipation may be faster, but there are some simple drills you can try out to see. Put a towel on your shoulder, with it hanging evenly in the middle. Now, you stand with your hands down, and when you partner tries to grab the towel, try to stop him. Most of the time, you won't be able to, because you can't react until he acts. This automatically puts you behind the curve.You move quick grasshopper. sounds like a good idea to try? is there any others?? You must become more than just a man in the mind of your opponent. -Henri Ducard
yingampyang Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Yes you have a good poitn and sure for many martial artist this is the case. But when you train enough and fight enough you will soon learn the way of predicting what your oppoent is going to do , and after a while it will become certian. I think that there is no 1 style , and that to truly become a great martial artist and person you must take information from where ever you can.
bushido_man96 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 That may be the case, but anticipation and reaction time are not the same thing. And when you make assumptions, you will eventually be wrong. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

Now, as the defender, get your hands up in a fence position, or an interview position, and then allow your partner to grab for the towel. Now try to stop him. You will have a much better chance at stopping him now. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
