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?? |

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.

To add to this drill, after doing it like you did above, you change things a bit. 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.
