i love the movement and i love the respect you get when you establish that first shot and you realise youve got them, you stalk and move and play with it, it all adds to the love of it for me, it sounds horrible but im not a violent person and i dont like hurting people, but i like to tame a fighter and i love to get in their head and make them twitch at the slightest hint and then using that respect to display my abilitys in an entertaining way, its more about showing people what i can do for me, rather than simply hurting the other guy, i like to entertain. Ive been called a flash **** and a poser and everything else i havent caught wind of but i dont care im in it for the time in the ring, nothing matters but you and him, in a way you could say its a form of meditation for me in itself, all the very real life problems disappear quick when your in there.

Sort of a mess this post lol not sure if i understand the point to it myself, but basically my point was it feels to me like its a lot about having love for what your doing, when the heart and mind and body are comfortable and happy. This is just my opinion or sort of what i feel, half of the time im just writing as im thinking on here, blurting out my thoughts and feelings, sometimes i think its nice to have somewhere to write things down lol, ill stop now.
I get what you are saying ,in the zone,not over thinking or forcing,when you love what you do it allows for that flow.When you are in that flow and other guy is forced into over thinking he cant get in his zone.

Try this; get a sponge or a soft ball and just lob it at some friends head and see what block they use from their reaction. That is a natural form without thought right there,its centuries, eons of reaction that have formed the perfect block.
Some people get whopped without moving but for many specially children or women who react without thought, its an elbow up into the path of the shot with the forearm covering like a wing and the other hand covers the gap under that elbow as they duck behind the shoulder to elbow part of the arm. Like hiding behind a raised wing.
Protects all the vital spots on the side of the neck and the temple in one move.
