Coaching the Reactive Element of the Chi Sao Drill
June 16, 2018
“So when we’re working on both sides, that means, it can come from either side. And, you realize, after a while, that you cannot, with your mind, control both sides at the same time. You have to at some point rely on reflexes. You have to turn off thinking, turn off being overly analytical and just react. So what this is helping you to do is to promote just a reaction, promote just a reflex, turn off the thinking, turn off the analytical mind that can’t really adequately follow what’s happening from either side. So if you do an action — I will learn how to react back without thinking.”
