Someone asked me once why I had such good reflexes. I said it was from experience. From unwarranted fists. From open-handed slaps. From bites that drew blood. From objects thrown to harm. From getting kicked when I was down. From trusting too much. We all learn from experience. You get kicked over and over and eventually, you learn how to dodge.
