Muscle memory, slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Practice repetition over and over and your body will get to the point of doing the motions without really thinking.
@@narusawa74 actually yes, because if you practice it enough over time. When certain things happen in a instant you are no longer thinking about it. You just do it.

Thank you. I just sat here learning this attack with my practice sword over an over again. What a perfect counter for the overhead swing. An fun to do once its perfect flow. Looks like you control his direction of swing with your first attack, to set up his overhand swing so u can then counter it with the loop over. Deffently a kill shot. But what happens when both fighters are aware of such a formula. Setting there attacks up with your own attacks to then counter the anticipated attack before it happens. Its most likly why such expert level fighters dont make that much blade contact with each other. Becaue there aware of that level of control. Intelligence, awareness, an self awareness. On levels i cant explain to most people. Do you know how to separate yourself, from your reactions? For example. Does one go threw life reacting. Or does one go threw life choosing how one feels. Can one even be in that level of control. Where you are no longer the representative, the reactive child to this world. are you true awareness? Are you really you, or the representative of your reactions from within. Once this level of self control is attained. The enemy can no longer use manipulation. An until this is attained mentally, physically its imitation, not coming from within, but just a copied variation carried from those who were. You can not understand these facits with the mind alone.

That's so cool you rotate your hip as if you were throwing an uppercut (yes, I know boxers and other forms of combat sports do this)
