For effective combat and confrontation with the enemy, as many coaches say, physical strength alone is not enough - you need to be strong in spirit. It is this "layer" between your body and inner "I" that allows you to use less strength, energy and body movements in battle than your opponent.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember: spirit is not only a psychological component, but also a physical one. Taken together, all this is called psychotechnics and techniques. To train the spirit means to learn how to use your body and control emotions, skillfully using power with the help of thinking, and not blindly reflecting on an attack.
Step 2
Use special psychotechniques to train your spirit: autogenic training (with these and other goals in domestic sports has been used for a very long time), non-standard behavior and techniques during a battle, high-speed study of strategy, combat tactics, meditation, the study of external psycho- and physiological characteristics manifestations of emotions in battle. Take an interest in psychic techniques in other martial arts (Asians, for example, are unsurpassed masters in this area).
Step 3
Read some literature to get started. One of the best books, Jeet Kune Do by Bruce Lee, has a philosophical side to it, not just a technical one. Also use exercises before training or fighting; for example, close your eyes and imagine how the full moon is reflected on the perfectly smooth surface of the lake. If you see even weak waves, then you are not calm, if the surface is like a mirror - boldly for training or in battle.
Step 4
Learn techniques for entering the so-called combat trance. Choose an opponent in training that is equal in strength to you or even obviously stronger than you; offer to arrange a sparring - without aggression, i.e. like a friend.
Step 5
Develop peripheral vision (not to be confused with the direction of the eyes to the side) - this means that at a distance, your gaze is directed into the eyes of the enemy; but at the same time - on his whole body - as a result, the opponent is disoriented, because he does not understand the reason why you are looking "through him". At a closer distance, the gaze must be shifted to the middle part of the body, so that absolutely everything can be seen with peripheral vision. In case there are many opponents, remember the phrase "look into nowhere, but take everyone" - that is, even those behind your back. And only at close range you will not have time to look, here you need to rely on sensations.
