Mental Preparation in Martial Arts: What's the Point of All This
I've been training in martial arts for years, and I'm still not convinced that all this talk about mental preparation is anything more than just a bunch of fluff. I mean, how many times have you heard someone say that the key to winning a fight is 'being in the right mindset'? It sounds like something a self-help guru would say. But what does it even mean? Is it just about visualizing yourself winning, or is there actually some substance to it? I've been reading about the concept of 'flow state' and how it can improve your performance in martial arts, but it all seems like a lot of pseudoscience to me. Can someone explain to me what the actual benefits of mental preparation are, and how I can apply them to my own training? I'm not looking for any vague advice or motivational speeches, I just want to know what works.
