there is a level of “kuji in” training ancient meditation methods used by shaman ,buddhist monks and later practitioners of ninjutsu that is called RETSU – MASTERY OF TIME AND SPACE this along with eight other meditation methods were utilized to bring power to the ninja. Well its a matter of belief however on a practical sense mastery of time and space is easily attainable.
Speed can beat strength meaning if your attacker is stronger than you its best not to be in the way of his attack . And if your fast enough , even his attack that manages to hit you will be a grazing blow at best . However timing can beat speed. someone with great speed can be thwarted by a person with great time because the speed of the persons attack it not able to line up with the timing of the target.
So when you put the two together you have whats called time and space , how much time does it take to close the gap between attacker and attackee. how fast can you close the gap and you can close it in time enough to hit what your aiming at. No matter what the device is hand, foot ,stick ,bullet there is a speed verses timing factor which should be used to better your outcome in a violent encounter.
The fastest way between two points is often a straight line but if that point is moving its ok to use a curving line to meet that moving point. being completely still and then attacking with great energy can be a good way to put surprise and thus speed on your side , on the other hand moving around your opponent in a constant circle give him less of a target, if you don’t want to get hit use timing that is off and not predictable
when i fight , or practice sparr, i teach to never stand in one place more than 3 seconds , that throws of most types of plans to attack you because they cant calculate where your going to be while at the same time you get to time them and make a well timed and devastating blow to the person hypnotized by your movement
so when you find yourself in a situation whether you facing some one on your level or a person that is strong or faster make you time and space a weapon to even the score .
