Im saying once you know .you know. stop thinking about it.
Stop building muscles into the pathway of knowing.
Better off with elastic,following Scraps ideas is going to poop on weights on arms.

I was sort of suggesting that if you cant flow freely in the zone without pre-thoughts slowing you down;

Then- re practice by breaking it down into sections like I suggested. But notice as you build up you are dropping the last thought process because;well dam it, you Know it already, get over it. That creates speed and creates free flow.

If theres a habit of physically thinking that slows you, then go right back and do nothing at all physically . just do the whole combination in your mind while you are sitting there relaxing and do it over and over until you are no longer thinking you are just flowing,

then stand up and do it see how fast you are then.

This isnt the be all and end all, its just one way of ticking something off.


Heres an interesting exersize. have your sparrring partner load up to hit you,nose to nose you are both in a square shouldered stance both hands can reach the target for both men . Adjust your stances as you would if fighting in a phone box.Should be like a half side stance.

Now let him launch shots freely with one arm and you try and stop him before he lands the shot. Thats tough you are nose to nose here. This is great for his disguised launching practice on you. you are trying to disrupt the path of his arm.

Not so good for you. He should be like a gun slinger drawing a gun and nearly smacking you at will.

Now rest your attacking glove or wrist on his rear fore arm and let him do that again with his other attacking arm, you stop his shot with your free hand when you feel it coming.

Side note: (Funny thing is you even mess up his shot and take the power out by disrupting his rear arm specially if you push lightly towards his center.)

Want to go one step more ?

Close your eyes!

Surprise you can still stop him.

This should really allow you to practice and devise some smart and unusual nose to nose stuff once you combine slight ankle turns and shoulder rolls,half switching stance to get from one side of his arm to the outside of his arm or back in etc and a slip and release of the rear guard style of short punch to it all, to force his reactions.

This is very free flowing no time to think its all on balance and reaction and you can feel it if the feeler is out.

you have to do this with your sparring partner, you can't be trying to knock each others heads off either, this a two way street an exercise that could with patience take you beyond pre thought.













Ahh fuk.

How far down the rabbit hole do you really want to go?
