Hand-to-Hand Combat Performance Perception

When engaging in live close quarters combat (martial arts) in the field, it takes a certain state of directed perspective to be at your most optimal.

Martial artists often spend too much time fine-tuning their techniques and not enough time developing the ability to pull off those techniques in live combat.

The individual is far more important than any style or system. In reality, there is no superior style. There are just superior practitioners who have superior attributes like speed, strength, stamina, sensitivity, timing, footwork and distancing.

The most under-trained yet most powerful attribute of close quarters combat is perception.

Your performance in combat is directly related to your perception, and your perception is directly related to the amount of energy you have stored.
