Has anyone ever gotten bored enough to watch street fight videos on Youtube? I have. I'm not sure what that says about me, but that isn't the point. In every video I watched, it looked to me like every first punch came from a mile away in slow motion. Now I can't tell if this is because my training has actually taken hold, or if it's just because I am not in the situation. My guess: a combination of both. After all, if I were the one on the receiving end of the aggression, my adrenaline would be pumping and screwing up my reflexes.
But it's amazing how much of a difference training can make. I watched one guy take a wide looping punch that started all the way back in Georgia and it actually LANDED. Meanwhile I am sitting here thinking, "How could that other dude NOT have seen it coming?"
Just a random thought on a boring Sunday night.
