I have a theory, that if I start playing ping pong a lot and get better at it, then my reflexes would improve and that would help me improve with standup defense.

Think about it, the coordination and reflexes it takes to be good at ping pong is monumental, it makes me think of Anderson Silva. I bet he plays ping pong.

Also I have another theory, people say if you don't chew enough your body won't get all the nutrients the food provides, so if I want to cut down on calories while eating steak, I would just chew it less!

I think the best way to improve your standup is to auctually do it.
But if you are correct, then the more cs i play the more strikes i can dodge.

umm, not chewing well puts pressure on your digestive system, so it ain't good for ya. plus the less you get out of the food you eat, the more your body will tell you to ear. why don't you just eat less?

O.k forgot the chewing thing, kind of a joke.

Sort of serious about the ping and the pong one though. Those guys just react to something coming their way so fast.

Wtf? Ping pong doesn't have anything to do with being good at standup, it has to do with being good at tennis! Chances are if you're good at tennis, you'll be good at ping pong.

And your second theory is ridiculous as well.

naw, it improves your reflexes and hand eye coordination...the not chewing i meant

[rghtcrs4u]

it would improve your hand-eye coordination but i highly doubt your hand speed would go up from playing ping pong.. plus the movements are nothing alike

I was thinking more of just reflexes/reaction. Like how A. Silva was dancing around while Rich Franklin was trying to punch him in their second fight.

Damn its late.

i would disagree with the statement, just because they both use a racket type of equipment with a net doesn't mean its the same thing
