Speed

Speed changes

The speed of sparring changes at various times during a match. Most times a match is evenly paced, with spurts of intense speed. The speed of your attacks should coincide with your interpretation of your opponent's physical and mental state. One way to read the opponent's physical and mental state is though his or her breathing. When they are gasping or breathing heavily, speed up the attacks.

Speed of movement

Train to get from Point A to Point B as fast as possible. Find what it is in your posture that tells an opponent you are coming and eliminate it.
