(Striking) Why do some have timing and others don't?

To take it a step farther, you can improve it. Training. There are no shortcuts.

I can improve my ability to touch my nose?

There's a guy on reddit who thinks I have poor timing hitting a static object.

Yikes!!

I have been thinking about this. Because there is probably a mechanical reason.

Like a distancing or a drilling issue.

And guys like kit dale have timing based systems.

But I am not sure how I would test any of it.

My guess would be focused free sparring. So while you let the other guy just do whatever. You keep to a theme. And then repeat that an infinite amount of times.

I think a game of Bowler is a good test. I hit the stuff every single time I throw the toll, whether it goes down or not. Other people can't knock ones over beyond chance. And they aren't martial artists

While I have weaknesses in sparring, I have always had a talent for landing a shot when I wanted to, and never too close or too far away.
