"When we think about training speed, we often picture sprints or “fast-feet” drills. Those have their place, but the speed that matters most in tactical performance is the kind that develops power as it relates to control. Training often focuses on strength and technique — both of which are essential — but speed should not be overlooked. As ballistic science shows, when speed increases, so does impact. In the context of defensive tactics, the faster a technique is delivered to its target, the more power it transfers. Speed isn’t optional; it’s a core element of real-world effectiveness."
