In my years of studying martial arts it almost always comes back to having a clear mind (Mushin- "Mind like water" or "no mind").  After seeing countless number of people performing kata (prearranged movements) the difference between someone practicing with mushin is the efficiency of movement.

 Milton Erickson said " A hypnotic subject always shows  a tremendous economy of movement". When practicing kata to be in the moment is one of the things I think most martial artist miss. A Quote from The Peaceful Warrior "Where are you, Dan?" "Here." "What Time is it?" "Now." "Who are You?" "This Moment." says it all.

Learning to get to this place of mushin "being in the moment" when training in any sport will increase overall performance.
