My eyes are slow an untrustworthy I try to avoid relying on them wherever possible.
On a side note, there's a move Jet Li does in several films where he throws a left hand out to the edge of the other guys peripheral and splays the fingers out explosively with a little shake.
Other dude can't help but glance that way and then Jet nails him with a right.
Yeah it's a movie but I love that fuckin shot.
I like to put my hands up like in the classic Western guard squared off directly, then move em a little and keep them directly in front as I step around, and then you're in the beginning of the 'roll back' posture for a hip throw with as much or as little juice as you like on it.
Taijiquan is a mindfuck art. Playing with peripherals is just another tool in the arsenal IMHO
