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

Focus, perseverance and fighting spirit certainly are non-physical attributes that play a major role and can sometimes overcome both physical condition and skill advantages. To have all three of these elements almost always equates to victory. Conditioning and skill can easily be developed, the spirit part is harder and often neglected in most people's regular training.
The will to survive at all cost, I like that....
 
Regarding timing, I highly recommend learning to improvise jazz.

At least, it screws up my squash opponents, because I'm used to making last-second decisions when improvising, and they have no idea what I'll do before I do it.

And in general, music experience can help you pick out regular and irregular rhythms.
 
But they were skilled at doing that kick right? Or was this a kick that someone fit can do on the first try?
If you're good at a technique, you can use that technique. If not you probably can't. Doesn't matter if we're talking high kicks, low kicks, throws...
Most street fights don't include [insert technique here] because most people are untrained.
 
But how does your sense of distance have anything to do with reflexes?
I am asking how reflexes have any bearing on getting set and landing a shot. When you counter punch, yes, obviously that's reflexes...
You are referring to proprioceptive capability, or kinesthesia. There are three types of source for it. Spindles in skeletal muscle, mechanoreceptors in joint capsules, and golgi organs in tendons. That thing that lets you find your *** with both hands even though you can’t see it.
 
Your butt, our behind, your posterior, your toucas
I making a poor joke, but the substance of what I’m telling you is anatomically and physiologically correct. Proprioception, is what allows you to touch your nose with your finger. It degrades with fatigue, alcohol consumption, dehydration, and age. It’s what the field sobriety test is about. Don’t take my word for it. Fact check me.

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