Safroot Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 An inexperienced opponent will look where they are about to attack so will let you know what they plan.That's exactly what happened to me .... that's why 90% of my punches and kicks were blocked "The Martial Arts begin with a point and end in a circle."

Safroot Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Mushin is tricky to explain but part of it is to look at your opponent but not focus on one area, instead look and see everything, if you have good reaction speeds then you can be trained to react to any attack from anywhere, even if it's just to move out of the wayThat's sound amazing but I think it needs years of practice to achieve, isn't it?!

Canadian77 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 For me I find a lot of it is speed. I remember a lot of the pointers my sensei has given over the last few months in mentioning sparring, and there a lots of great tips here. But in the heat of the moment it is hard to remember anything, and by the time I think of something my opponent is ten steps ahead and it's useless. My movements are slow, my reaction is slow, and my brain is slow! Lots of speeding up to do!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then try throwing random punches at random times. If you can react to most then you are getting there.Don't worry about laughing, you don't always need to take it seriously, especially when you trip yourself up and land on your backside - don't ask me how I know this....
