How can i improve the speed of my movements and thinking?

I've read that eye training helps. When you can see things faster, you can react faster.

I've found that doing preset drills helps a lot, but you have to be careful to keep reacting and not just "rehearsing" the movements. Mixing up the rhythm with your partner helps that a lot. Doing forms as fast as you can has helped me as well.

General muscular speed: Plyometric and resistance drills and exercises.

Reactions: Reaction drills (person touches your forehead, at random, you block, that kinda thing)
