Reflex is the behavior of the body at the moment when it is necessary to act without thinking. Reflexes are natural (when you instantly pull your hand away from a hot frying pan) and acquired (for example, despite turning on the light when you come home at night). The acquisition of reflexes consists in the continuous repetition of any actions. During this process, the memory of constant actions will pass into the subconscious.

Steps

1. 1 Write down all types of attacks for which you want to develop a defense reflex.
2. 2 Find a training partner.
3. 3 Ask your partner to strike slowly. While doing this, try to dodge or block the attack. Remember that some punches cannot be blocked, such as a direct punch. If you try to block, then you simply get hit not only from the opponent's hand, but also from your own hand.You can also practice an immediate counterattack after blocking or dodging a punch.
4. 4 Repeat the process of defending against the same attack. If you are confident in the correct execution of the defensive move, then start by asking your partner to increase the speed of the punch. Do this for 10-15 minutes. Your body will learn to respond to this very situation.
5. 5 Switch to practicing another attack or defense. Continue your workout for 10-15 minutes. Your body will now get used to reacting to a different situation.
6. 6 Continue to alternate defensive moves from different attacks until you have mastered 3 or 4 hits and 3-4 matching blocks or evading attacks.
7. 7 Ask your partner to start playing the attacks they completed in a random order. Gradually increase the speed of performing attacking and defensive actions. Your body will now begin to learn how to determine the quality of an attack and how to get away from it.
8. 8 Repeat all the previous steps. Only with the help of balance can reflexes be formed.
9. 9 Get help from more people or look for ways to hit differently. After all, your goal is to develop combat reflexes, not reflexes to defend against attacks from a specific person.
10. 10 After mastering the above, connect 2 more people to work. Have one of them stand in front of you and the other to the side. Continue to defend against arbitrary attacks from your partners. Ask your partners to launch attacks individually rather than simultaneously.

Tips

• Enroll in a martial arts school. You will do all of the above, but only under the supervision of professional trainers. This way, you will be able to fight off the attacks of professional sparring partners.
• Your muscle memory will soon begin to work and your movements will become more natural. Also find some moves that are comfortable for you to fight off attacks in your own way. There is no universal way to avoid an attack - only by experiment and practice.
• Enjoy your lesson. Don't train with hate thoughts and don't treat martial arts as a way to hurt someone. Enjoy the process and it will be easier for you to master the combat technique.
• Try not to hurt yourself or your partner. You are drawing to get a little injury.

Warnings

• Make sure your partner doesn't want to hurt you. Find another partner if you are dealing with a mentally unstable person.
