know that you can apply what you are learning or trying to learn without actually fighting? I know it takes time to develop, your feel and neuromuscular responses, so that one does not have to think and therefore let it happen.

What I mean by apply is applying the correct response(s) to the "question" in the most effective and efficient manner.

Hi Kent!

It is a process of constantly drilling the movements until they become ingrained into your neuromuscular system! This takes quite a while, and much dedicated effort on the part of a practitioner! Even if I had NEVER been in a fight (I wish), I would still know that I have everything I need to destroy an opponent in front of me! How, well it is by constantly drilling, drilling, drilling to make these things a part of me just like I walk, talk, eat, breath and sleep! In other words, they must become second nature!

Keep Blasting!

I definitely agree with Sifu Lamar on drilling to help put the movements and reactions into muscle memory. I've found that if you have someone else to train with, sensitivity drills have been especially helpful to me for linking those automatic reactions to sensing certain types of energy. I think that helps a lot to help make the movements applicable in a real fight.
