Simple Reaction Time (SRT)
What is Simple Reaction Time (SRT)?
Simple Reaction Time (SRT) is the measure of the time it takes for an individual to respond to a single stimulus. It is a basic form of reaction time testing where a person is required to perform a specific action, such as pressing a button, as quickly as possible after perceiving a stimulus, such as a light or sound. SRT is often used in psychological and neurological studies to assess the speed of cognitive processing and motor response. It is considered a fundamental metric in understanding human performance and can be influenced by various factors including age, attention, fatigue, and practice.

I have been given the rare opportunity to teach Jiu Jitsu for a living. This is a privilege that I wake up everyday grateful for, and a responsibility that I hold dearly. I understand how rare it is to be employed through a labor you genuinely love, and one which can be used as a vehicle for positive change in the lives of others. Even rarer still, I am often reminded of the quality of Jiu Jitsu I have learned, and the opportunity to have learned it.
