Wing Chun Illustrated Magazine Issued No.16 : Train Slow to Improve Fast, Optimising Muscle Memory Training

"Many people believe that fighting is done fast so it’s necessary for the practitioner to train fast to be a good fighter (I believe this too). To the polarised thinker, fast therefore claims the position of 'good'. He or she will further rationalise that if fast is good then slow is naturally bad. However, there is a wealth of data and experimentation to support that training fast, as well as slow, has immense value. As a general rule, I suggest using fast-paced training for standard fight training (or fighting). Use medium- paced training for any practice, and use slow-paced practice for learning."
