What Happens When You Have No Reaction Time!

Reaction time is one of the biggest and baddest, if not the biggest and baddest, scams ever foisted upon human beings. The idea that you must wait for somebody else to move before taking action is a trick of a blinded mind, and will get you killed. The whole concept, and I dont care if you are a practitioner of Hung Gar or Wing Chun or Shotokan or whatever, is designed to make you a victim. Now, the problem is that this concept of reaction time has become common to all arts, and basically is a coruption of art. One of the reasons for this is that the martial arts have been designed for teaching to children, and children dont have enough sense of themselves to deal with reaction time except as victims. Thus, you have to avoid classes which have been designed for children. Another problem is that the mixed martial arts phenomena has driven people to training methods that utilize nothing but muscle and brawn. How fast are you, how strong are you, and not how can you harmonize with your opponent. Again, the method creates victims of time, moving after the action has happened, and it does not create people who move in The Now. For example, watch one of the latest UFC bashes, the fighters miss as much as they connect, yet the time involved should be faster than somebody can move their heads. The reason this is happening is because people are moving in response to action, and not in concert with it. Or, and this is really worse, they are moving without having any real idea of where they are moving, striking out blindly and hoping to win the lottery. On the other end of the scale are fighters who dont miss much, who are aware in the middle of combat, and come out of the fray unscathed and yet with a knock out to their credit. Watch the last fight with Anderson Silva Silva, the one against Forrest Griffin. Anderson seems lazy as he exists at the edge of Forrests punches, and yet he is never touched, and instead loops a lazy, little punch in that knocks Forrest into the middle of next week. But Forrest was already in the middle of next week! Forrest, you see was trying to hit a head without knowing where it was, which is obvious if you analyze the trajectory of his punches. Forrest was not capable of being in The Now, or of predicting in any fashion where Andersons head would be. So here is the question that I have been building to, if a person is in reaction time, punching after the action and not in concert with the action, where is he? It doesnt matter where he is, what matters is that he is not Now. He is not in charge of his life, he is living in reaction time, he is living in the immediate past, he is not living Now. Well, it should be fair obvious that the world has gone crazy, and we all knew that, but we can uncrazy it by undoing this trap called reaction time. Simply, you must seek out training drills where you move in concert with your opponent, and because he moved. Whether you study Choy Lee Fut, Kenpo, Krav Maga, or whatever, you must research what reaction time is, admit when you have it, and remove it from your life.
