Written Summary:
Everyone wants to be
a speed demon and this video attempts to give the viewer a variety of training drills
and concepts to help increase one's reaction time and overall reflexes. I do not
claim to be a physiologist so it is difficult to say with certainty if the various
training drills shown in this video really do increase one's overall speed. From
a common sense perspective, I would say that the drills on this video probably do
help increase various speed component's to some degree although it is impossible
to say exactly how much of an increase will be realized. Most of the drills on this
video require at least one partner and a fairly serious training time commitment
to be implemented. Some of the drills can be used for solo training but the majority
of the drills do require at least one partner.
This video is one of the few
serious attempts to help martial artists (and other athletes as well) increase their
speed. Certainly there will always be some people who disagree with training methods
seen in this video but I can find no serious fault with the methods shown. If you
want to try to increase your speed, then this video is worth a look. However, I would
not guarantee that your speed will increase from using these training methods.
