Increase speed, agility, timing, and finesse

Do you know how to increase speed, agility, timing, and finesse in one training session?

If you're practicing martial arts, these qualities should be of utmost importance to you.

If you're lighter on your feet you can reach and attack your opponent much faster, doing this training will give you cat-like abilities and take your reaction speed to a whole other level.

Having finesse means that there's no wasted movements and every move you make is the most efficient one.

In this training I'm referring to, your timing has to be "bang-on" or else, technically you're dead!

You miss, you're dead?

Are you sure you still want to do this training?

I think you should.

If you train with that, do or die mentality, you will have an edge.

Just like this story my father told me about the master and student taking a stroll through the palace gardens.

They both spot a fox chasing after a rabbit.

The student turns over to the master and says: "The fox will catch the rabbit for sure"

The wise master replies: "Not so. The fox is running for dinner while the rabbit is running for his life".

Are you a fox or a rabbit?

Train like the rabbit.

That training I was talking about is none other than Knife fighting.

You can learn more about the Basics to conquering the knife here, filled with drills on how to use the knife to acquire super speed, finesse and agility and valuable advice on how to survive a knife attack.

Master Yourself,

Sifu Martin
