Martial Arts Speed Quickness and Reaction Time Drills

Here, I'm working with Pro MMA fighter Chelsea Colarelli and showing off some drills to build speed and quickness for martial arts. We're training at the MAAC in Amarillo, Texas

It's important for me to say that this training method can also work for armed self protection. For example, police officers or licensed concealed handgun carriers can work on a reactive pistol draw stroke using these methods.

Chelsea can full mount me any day :-)

I'm really skeptical of this working. A straight punch should be able to hit and recoil long before the other person can throw a hook because of the speed of hooks...Also she knows exactly what is coming.

@JayWerx I second that motion. haha

Hi Chelsea!

@siethon I know what you mean - this demo is not very convincing. But it is possible to slip a straight punch and counter with a hook to their liver. This is actually quite common and was used regularly by Tyson.

@siethon has anyone tried to punch you... it's really easy to read and just as easy to dodge

[oldsgtmajusmc]

The point they are making is how to react when your briain is all ready engaged- good drill- thanks oldsgtmajusmc

Hm... professional?

[JumperFrank]

I partially agree... I'm not sceptical on this, inside the ring this wont always work due to the speed of your opponents (agree on that :P) in the streets this might (when trained enough and properly) since your opponent probably has not trained for fast punches. I also agree on the fact that she said "go" every time... if she would not... her skills would increase way faster :)
