So you want fast hands ?

One other Q just to clarify this in my head. When you say touch and feel it seems you are talking about two different things but you are 'reacting' to touch and feel.

So wouldn't touch and feel really be one thing? I mean I'm thinking of touch as being an action but if you react to it you must be sensing something to react to so is it really just feel?

So if you're reacting to 'touch and feel' - you are reacting to what you feel when you touch something - whether it the contact with your opponent or the ground at various positions and angles under your feet depending on your stance and posture?

So would touch and feel really be balance and distancing between you and your opponent?

OK so it is more complicated than I thought!

I guess I've never really thought of that kind of 'feeling' to be trainable except for perhaps training in a way which allows maximum recovery while still challenging your body enough to make fitness gains.

I guess it kinda makes sense that over-training might mess with your prioreception the same way that feeling a bit sick or tired will. I mean I always walk into things when I'm tired.

So I guess that might be an added thing to consider on top of any muscle tightnesses, imbalances etc?

Is there something else to it that I haven't clicked on to yet though?

Ok Scrap, I'm Ready to start using this technique.

What kind of elasticated rope and hand grips do you reccomend and also what tension do suggest on the rope?

As regards the posture suggestion; the band around the head, would this not encourage the fighter to lean forward or are you suggesting that itr is trhe active resistance your body offers that will improve posture?
