how can i get faster reflexes and depth preception.?

Question

I want to be able to stop anything that flies at me super fast but i need something to make me able to do that. any ideas?

Answer 1

A training tool specifically designed to help improve reflexes and depth perception that can be bought at most sporting goods stores is a double end ball/bag. It is a punching bag roughly the size and shape of a basketball that is attached to the floor and ceiling with bungee cords. When you punch this sucker it goes flying left, right, back, and forth. You can also adjust its' height as you see fit. By the way you CAN improve reflexes and depth perception. Depth perception is merely your understanding of how far/close something is, and how quickly it'll get farther/closer, by looking at it. We all learn to improve this ability when we: learn to drive, play baseball/ basketball/ football, play catch, or learn to walk! Reflexes, could also be called "flexes," are how quickly your body can flex its' muscles in response to a stimuli. There are 2 things that need to be done to improve this: improve muscle strength and speed, and improve awareness of movements around yourself. I won't go into improving muscle strength as most everyone know how do do that, calisthenics, weights, they're all good. Muscle speed, however, is best improved by resistance training, which means attaching a bungee cord to your foot and doing 50 kicks, or wearing weighted gloves on you hands and doing 100 punches. Probably the most effective method is to practice kicks, punches and blocks under water. After you do 100 punches under water as fast as you can, when you get out your arms will feel as light as feathers. The speed ball I mentioned earlier, or the "paper ball" method (try tennis balls instead so there is some "motivation" to avoid being hit, but still no danger) mentioned above by another poster are all good methods for increasing environmental awareness. As long as you are being cautious about safety, don't be afraid to get creative !

Answer 2

You can't do a thing to improve reflexes.
Reflexes don't have anything to do with receiving, processing and responding to information.

Depth perception can be improved with glasses or corrective surgery.

You may be talking about RESPONSE TIME rather than reflexes.

How much you can improve your response time is limited by your personal physiology.

Answer 3

Have someone throw pieces of rolled paper at you at every possible angle
Then get a stick, attach a piece of wire coat hanger to it at the end in a circle, have a friend move it around as you attack it. makes for great training
Also a hanged Tennis ball does wonders for many skills. It moves wildly and is hard to hit.

Answer 4

Practice sparring and have partners throw random punches at you. As far as depth perception, well, I am not sure there is any way to improve that. Eyeglasses or contacts, maybe.
