| Reflex | Reflex is defined as a fast automatic, often inborn response, to a stimulus that involves a nerve impulse passing inward from a receptor to a nerve center and thence outward to an effector (as a muscle or gland) without reaching the level of consciousness. It is also defined as a process that culminates in a reflex and comprises reception, transmission, and reaction – also called reflex action. Reflexes are fast. |
| Habit | Habit is defined as a behavior pattern acquired by frequent repetition or physiologic exposure that shows itself in regularity or increased facility of performance, or an acquired mode of behavior that has become nearly or completely involuntary. Habit has less to do with speed. |

One of our main training goals is to ingrain simple, effective, and only a few reflexes and habits
into ourselves. Such requires training methods producing more repetition per training second, a focus on
accuracy, AND practice at slower speed (adrenaline will provide all the needed speed
when the fight starts). That is why we have a stronger emphasis on drills than we do on techniques.
We do practice both, but we spend more time practicing drills.
The reason for developing reflexes and habits (again" only a few") is because those we work on are really the most common denominators one ever sees in a real fight. When it comes to reaction in common assaults and their lines, well-trained, sound habits that have the defender ever-ready to strike with any limb are the most effective. |

Reflexes and Habits
Never have to be thought out Before, During, or After Conflict. |
