This is SO true! Don't have any sword fighting training, but anything that requires consistently correct execution is the same. You have to repeat it -- correctly -- until it's in your muscles and in your brain.

I've got more experience with the sword than I do with most other combat arts, but I can imagine it's the same. You don't really have the time to think, so your body has to know what to do before it's required to do it. And it will always default to the pathway "its used to" and not necessarily "what's right."

Thanks for commenting!
