True. Sometimes it is the limitation of age and size that will eventually make one realize. Also similar to boxing that has at first the fundamental movements drilled into the limbic system, the veteran can now find adjustments to the original "box" and be able to instantly vary and thus confuse the ordinary boxer. Much like the Chinese have a box form before they eventually grow into the circular form and for a few, a formless form. Going back to your analogy it is much like the mix of geometry and time. I realized that when I was younger I pushed to go faster. But boy did I find out that there are really gifted faster guys, more so as I grew old and practiced less. It struck me also that speed and skill being equal, the guy with the longer limb will hit first before the other. It was fortunate for me to encounter a writing by a swordsman that if the enemy is faster you have to play slower. At first I did not understand until I took up Hung Fut and my Sifu explained about quadrants, doorways, angles and ultimately relative speed. This allowed one to use the others speed against him. Ultimately it led to another dimension of sensitivity. To achieve quickness is to bypass the cerabral cortex and to do that is to feel and ultimately just to react without thought. And to do THAT one discovers that the best way is to just be a mirror and relax totally. Anyway, sorry to ramble on. I just love the Art and Science of it all.
