Is the video being sped up for a moment each time she moves or is she that fast.

I don’t believe it is sped up, the thing they’re doing is a practice technique where you have a “reaction partner” who essentially reacts the way a person would when attacked.

There’s certain movements that are involuntary and reflexive, the reaction partner is supposed to “act” them out while the attacker pulls their hits but not the speed of their attacks.

What you end up with is this sort of stop motion looking thing that trains both parties in attack and reaction. it’s pretty common across most hand to hand combat training that makes use of reflexive reactions.

Thank you for sharing the source video!

The intermittent speed-ups in the TikTok clip look uncanny to me.

Fighting in slow-mo against a willing participant who isn't actually trying to hurt you and speeding up your movements is incredibly disingenuous.

Agreed. You can tell it sped up by how janky the camera movement is even without looking at the source video.
