Verstijvingsintensiteit 3/5

How to react fast to an attack?

Useful self-defense reaction time is 150-350 ms. Human record (brain alone) is 100 ms. The gap between beginner and trained: beginner thinks (cortex, 500ms+), trained acts (cerebellum, 150ms).

Waarom dit gebeurt — het mechanisme

The cortical pathway (think → decide → act) takes 500-800ms. The reflex pathway (cerebellum → direct action) takes 150-250ms. Only repetition (>1000 times) moves a response from cortical to reflex.

Hoe het Avikzar-Systeem hierop antwoordt

Yehouda teaches 12 short reflexes — each repeated >2000 times over 6 months. By the end, the student has 12 'buttons' wired straight into the cerebellum, firing in 150ms without thinking.
