Hey I'm doing Taekwondo and I want to improve my reaction time to block punches and kicks does anyone know any good exercises? The only one I know is the coins on the back of your hand trick.

Point a gun at your face and pull the trigger. Then try to dodge the bullet.

spend the whole day with weights tied to your and hands.
Then take them off when you get into a fight.
They will move at hyperspeed.

I had considered doing that for a while but didn't think of it for reactions just strength

have you actually tried it? You'd be surprised how much more quickly you can noticeably move when you take them off. Obviously it doesn't increase reaction time, but it increases movement speed of your arms and thus makes you more likely to block something

They sell weights specifically for being attached to wrists/arms/ankles, if you have the money start out somewhat small. You'd be surprised how much a little weight on your extremities can you wear you down at the end of the day. Depends on how strong you are now, but obviously just keep increasing them when it starts to get a little easy.

I know. I'm still looking for a way to increase reactions but this is interesting as it increases speed. Whether it's psychological or not.
