im more than positive that they are referencing ten milliseconds. i saw not too long ago, a 'fight science' special on tv that analyzed a kung-fu practitioner for the speed of his reaction time. they found that, from the light flash they showed him, to his recognizing and initiating a strike (they used brain scanning to gauge his reaction time, not his actual point of physical movement) was roughly 4 milliseconds. that's practicing every day. in this study, they concluded in the same manner, that his strikes were faster than a snakes, which was something around 6. little fun facts
