This video briefly explains how you can improve your ability to react to movement in your peripheral vision. By learning to do this you can significantly increase your reflexes and reaction time. There are other benefits in using this in the martial arts aswell, some of which are outlined in the video. At the end of the video there is an example of how these exercises can be used to practice movement that you might use in your martial art specifically. The example that is used is trapping.

would this really help to improve my reaction in basketball?

It certainly could. Search for “sport science basketball” and click the second video down. It talks about a simmilar subject to my video but specifically for basketball. It is a little simplified in places, and sometimes a little misleading, but otherwise useful.

lol i do practice martial arts and i have done this randomly but not as training but for fun, like walking threw the dojo while tossing the ball like that, i even do it by throwing the ball at the ball at a close range, just give the ball a small spin when u throw it to make it a bit more interesting.
this isnt rly hard for me but it could be the years of playing video games XD

I belive reflexes only limit us.
I think ignoring natrual reflexes could help.
learning to control are reflexes could make us superior fighters. well i think LOL

As a great Japanese master once said; “It’s all in how you rook at it.”

28. December 2009 at 4:16 pm

Thanks for this video.

here, guys I’ve got a good idea: try lying on your back and doing this drill if you want a challenge. If you lie on your back the ball is travelling towards you giving you less time to react, a more authentic drill, and a chance to overcome your flinch reflex. Excellent tutorial though!

this rideo could be rery useful for my rife

Very good, but i believe your body has a physical memory where you knw where the balls coming before you see. For example, try to do the same excersize wit your eyes closed, you’ll catch the ball more often then expected. But i would skill recommend this vid to friends and family

God I hate my reflexes
7. April 2010 at 9:14 pm
would this improve reflexes for goalkeeper?

@ripstickboys12 – Any game where you have to keep track of multiple objects (ball and other players), will benefit from practice using their peripheral vision.

i am a boxer and i think this may help me outside of the gym maybe if i do the snatching motion closer to my body to mimic a pat what do you think???

@mcfcdanny94 – Definately. Sounds good.
