IRL it's about speed but obviously not as fast as it is in computer games or anime. It's about attacking swiftly to catch an opponent off guard in one respect, but there's some philosophy behind it too. I'm guessing it would be fairly effective though as it's useful for counter-attacking in a sword fight. It was also taught to Japanese officers in World War 2.
