Repetition

In learning new things the goal is to commit it to your memory. Just like your mind, your body has memory. One of the best ways to teach your body is repetition. I have heard that after doing something 10,000 it is finally ingrained in your system. That means that when practicing techniques, the more you do them with proper technique, the easier those skills will be to execute in a live situation. By consistently practicing the correct body mechanics of a technique repeatedly, you harmonize the connection between your brain and your body. Through this connection you shift from thinking about executing to thinking and executing simultaneously.
