Things that cause your reaction time to increase (not desired):
Not being properly trained
Mind or body fatigued
Being absent-minded
Being emotionally upset
Fixating on one thing
Too much sensory input to process quickly
Receiving indirect sensory input, such as an echo or something appearing in peripheral vision
Inhaling during action; response is quicker and more powerful during exhale
Being off-balance
Being in a fixed position
Moving in the wrong direction
How to increase reaction time of an opponent (desired):
Get opponent to concentrate on one movement, then change it
Get opponent to fear attacks from any direction, which slows reaction to any one direction
Reaction is slower to movements in indirect sight, so attack from opponent's sides
Attack when opponent inhales, his or her reactions are slower
Attack when opponent is off-balance
Other factors that affect reaction time:
One of these factors is inertia. An object at rest tends to remain at rest and an object in motion tends to remain in motion. It takes time to move an object from rest or from an undesired direction. The more a person weighs, the greater the inertia and the longer the reaction time and vice versa.
Another factor is stability. If you are unstable (off-balance) then you must regain stability before you may react effectively.
