my coach teaches mostly in mandarin, so when he shouts at me during forms review - I often interpret his meaning through his body language. last night during mid-yell he broke out into english and shouted "stop thinking!! make your body control your mind!"

hmm.

    Your energy must drive your motions, rather than your motions driving your energy.
    Trying to muscle their way through a technique instead of flowing through it is the most common mistake I see. Not only is it improper form, but it is also inefficient.

    Plus, hooray for people teaching in languages you don't understand up until they yell at you in broken English! It strangely seems more effective that way...

    A quote a former instructor of mine often used... "Where the body leads, the mind will follow".
