Research Abstract	The purpose of this study was to examine causes of reaction delay and action stagnation which raise a lot of failure in high speed sports. College kendo players participated in experiments that required rapid and accurate reactions to practical offensive and defensive stimuli. The results indicated that high level players exerted more stable and less failure reactions than middle level players regardless of presentation order and timing of the stimuli.
