Yeah. But thinking about it some more, TKD was probably not the best example—I actually have thought, quite a few times, during fencing that ‘man I wish I had faster reflexes, he’s ridiculous’. (Weapons are a lot faster than legs.)
My fencing coach emphasizes modeling your opponent more accurately and setting up situations where you control when stuff happens. Both of these skills can substitute somewhat for having faster reflexes.
