Karate is characterized by its emphasis on striking, and using punches, kicks, knee strikes, elbow strikes and open-hand techniques. Therefore, one of the most important goals in Karate is to improve your response time and decision-making processes.
Respond faster than your opponent and get your Gyaku tsuki attack in to get the score.
Sometimes fast is not the answer, and you have to make the right decision at just the right moment.
Choose between Uchi-uke defence or a fast Ura mawashi geri attack.The time a Karateka has to process, analyze and execute the perfect response is milliseconds, which can make the difference between winning and losing.
