Not a subject you would hear in a Mc Dojo, very serious subject matter and martial arts concepts.

This video was very insightful on the proper state of mind before, during and after a fight, battle or confrontation. I love this video.

5:17 as a kendo-ka, the words that you’re looking for to explain this is “continued readiness, ” meaning; that, “you are aware of the next obstacle.” Í-shin is the preparation, the “ready state”. Mu-shin means “without-self” or, in a cultural translation, to allow instinct to take over and have what you already know be tested. Once that your mu-shin, overcomes any potential “obstacle” then does Zan-shin become necessary. It’s to display that you have Í-shin or “continued readiness.“

Mushin feels like the inspiration of Autonomous Ultra Insinct

This is a good philosophical part of martial arts. Thanks for this. I can now explain and understand this better when I teach it to others.

Well the mushin is some thing that brings out your instinct. You dont think when you strike, your body auto strikes. Like when you are gasping for breath, no matter how hard you try you will auto breath.its kinda like that
