6. The mind must be set free
One of the main goals of MA is to Free the mind. In all cases of karate the goal is to react. If i react to an attack with block, kick or punch it don't matter as long as I reacted because I could make any of those moves work.
Setting the mind free means not to think. Your karate practice must be tot he point that all moves are reaction without thought. You must be ready at all times to defend yourself from an attacker and you can not walk around think well if he attack I will do this or that. O r I would fight a big guy this way and small guy that way. It must be reaction with no plans.
Let the mind go. When you think you pause and if its life or death that pause will cost you your life.
