Reaching a state of flow where you respond automatically and correctly to your opponent is the goal of martial arts training. But how do you get there?
In this episode I go through what flow is, what it feels like, and some of the triggers and prerequisites for flow to occur. Hint: relaxation, competence, engaging with your environment, and having a single clear goal without distractions are all important.
For more information on flow check out the book 'Flow' by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. It's a classic!
