Mine aren't perfect, but you can only go so far with them. Just like some boxers and MMA fighters strike faster, same technique they are just faster. Thanks for the advice and answers.

Curious
Is this high intensity leg work outs (larger muscles, more calories burned) or some sort of full-body hybrid with cardio like Tae Bo et al plus weights?

Pretty much any high intensity work, especially when it involves the entire body, is going to burn more calories than steady state workouts like slowly running a long distance or what have you. A while back I read a study by Dr. Izumi Tabata (I think that was his name) that demonstrated this beautifully. Google Tabata intervals and check it out.

Guiding your opponent into doing exactly what you want will make even middle-aged fat guys look blazing fast.
If you watch fight footage you'll probably notice that good fighters known for hand speed aren't actually appreciably faster than others, they just start sooner.

1. I can bruise you if I want to with most peoples' passing gear. Therefore, the standard is such that passing gear can bruise at the hard end of the spectrum, especially with multiple shots to the same area. That's fine.
2. I can bruise you if I want to with most peoples' passing gear. Therefore, the standard is broken and **** is passing that shouldn't be. We should all add 1/4" of 2# padding to our blue swords and more like 1/2" to our reds.
I doubt 2 will ever come to pass, so.

Big Jimmy wrote:It's not broken gear, it's perfectly passing gear. You're talking about failing 90% of gear on the field because someone like Peter or Soth can make you look like a grape from swinging at you. That's just not feasible. Some people will bruise you even if you put a pillow in their hands, in their hands it's the death pillow, reaper of souls.
Mynok wrote:Yeah Ive tried to train some people and I found out that you cant be too rough on the new guys some of them cant take a butt kicking so its easier to ease them into this sort of thing . I let my new guys try there hardest to hit me and dodge all of there slow deliberate attacks and frustrate them but without bashing them too much . I found it was easier to get people to stick around was just let them flail and move and laugh at them so when they do land a shot on me its the best thing in the world for them.
But swing speed happens as you learn how to use the weapon,your shots become more accurate and with a little focus you can use a bit of chi with em .
or ki or zhing or whatever you want to call it.
