quickness contains both mental and physical component, which allows you to act or react appropriately to a given situation before its too late...
being fast is the ability to complete a predefined sequence is the least amount of time, much like the fastest runner wins the race.

Is this a test to find out who the "more learned" are and who's ignorant?Rob Broad said:

There is a distinct difference between quick and fast. It is just that most people tend to overlap the 2 terms and sometimes use the incorrect one.

I think you hit the nail on the head with this one pete, so as i understand it quickness is the immediate reaction and being fast is the actual performance of technique in sequence. Can you have one without the other? I think you need to have quickness as in spontaneous reaction or you will never get to the "fast" part - the actual performance of the tech. Something to think about.

yes..Kenpo Mama said:
i feel no need to get to the fast part... that would just be "hollywood flash"Kenpo Mama said:
quickness has a mental and physical component, so doing nothing at the right time can be considered a quick reaction.
you can train to improve your quickness, just as you can train to improve your speed... both can be learned, but each would require a different process and different goals.Rob Broad said:

There is a difference.
In the kempo system that I trained in they talked about 2 different types of speed.
Initial speed what I can describe as the reaction time to get the technique off and on its way to its target.
RPM speed, The speed the weapon goes to its target
I guess one could add a deliverey speed, The speed the weapon is going when it hits its target.
