best way to get your speed and reflex up is this old method my teacher taught us. get a very realistic looking knife but not sharp, if you dont have one get a butter knife or just file down a knife till it's blunt. the point is to forcibly fool your brain into realizing it is a real knife and not a fake knife. ask a friend or partner to jab you with it and you block. start slowly and work your speed up gradually. because your brain is telling you you will die if you dont block the attack, you will be much more focused and will improve very quickly.
shuffling is the act of moving your feet quickly but not losing balance. by always having one foot infront and one foot behind you will never be caught with both feet side by side and one not touching the ground - which is when you are most vulnerable and can be taken to the floor. move towards or away from your enemy by shuffling. how to practice: get a length of rope. tie it between your ankles so you have a little more than shoulder width to work with. this will be a limitation. now get your friend and use the fake knife again to attack you and move back by shuffling. do not walk back as this then ruins the point of the training. increase speed gradually. ive seen people lose fights because they do not shuffle. people focus too much on strength. if you cant hit me then all that strength is of no use. ive also seen people that can shuffle faster than untrained people can run.
i dont focus so much on the chinese or korean or isreal style of fighting. it just comes down to speed and reflex most of the time.
anyway ive been in some fights, some ive won some ive lost. this stuff really helps.
