Reaction speed in fights

0% Normal
4 Comments

One good thing you can do in a fight is to take advantage of those little moments of confusion that happen. For example: a man goes in for a takedown on another guy. But once they landed on the ground there was that split second of confusion while the guy who took him down thought about his next move. But the guy who got taken down bounced up immediately like a spring and jumped ontop of the guy that took him down and started throwing punches down onto his face.

This wasnt really something that took skill this was just reaction speed. Ive noticed this wins alot of fights. Its in a moment of a scramble. A guy like Anderson Silva use to always win fights in some sort of chaotic scramble while the other guy stalled for a split second. Jim Miller just retired Donald Cerrone in the same way even tho hes lesser of a fighter. Younger men usually have much quicker reaction speeds as well this probably contributes to fighting being such a young man sport.

    So was there a question or was this just an appreciation post for mutual combat?

      No this can actually be used even if you dont know how to fight or if you are in a gun fight. Theres often luls in the action for a split second or two where both sides slow down because they dont know what to do. You can use this moment to get a leg up on him. This is something so simple but actually works really well. If you have in your mind already before it starts that you will react in these situations faster than the other guy you can often win. Win the race to reaction.

        Actually, it cannot be "just used" by people. It takes a lot of training to be able to react split second even when there is confusion...

        Top fighters and martial artist can do it because they have years of training in how to do it.

        A newbie doesn't have a chance of doing it.

          This is something Ive used since I was a teen and actively tell myself. I remember I use to get in fights alot and this one time after a guy had pushed me down from the side I got up hit him and then he ducked down and went to take me down we both went down at the same time and I kind of twisted on the way down so we both fell on our sides but I just bounced up faster and got ontop of him and started landing punches on his head. I also beat myself up if something happens and Im too slow to react whether it be someone unexpectedly tossed me something and I didnt go to catch in time or something else. Im abit wierd though.
