Distractions during forms while testing

[JT_the_Ninja]

I'm noticing that the wrist grips and hand combinations are getting confusing because they are very similar to my lower belt stuff.

It's amazing how much concentration forms take. You can't just let muscle memory take over.

Actually, that's the quandary...you're supposed to get to the point where you don't have to think; it should all be internalized. If you have to think about what you're doing in a fight, you're going to lose. It's just the other end of the spectrum, where you forget what you're doing and just zone out, that brings trouble.
