"Strength is not in the muscle, but in the mind" or at least someone with your same IP address seems to think so. Your real name would not be Joshua O'Brien would it?

Based on your capitalization, punctuation and spelling all I can do is quote the line from Alan Rickman’s character Elliott Marston in Quigley Down Under, “keep practicing.”

Discussing the superiority of mental attributes and psychology in martial arts.

What was your question again?

I agree with Cliff, that is a vague question to say the least. David, you might like to ask something more specific.

You mean "I am about to kick your arse, now tell me about your mother"

Like that?

Or after you reverse punch some one in the solar plexus you ask, "How does that make you feel?"

I guess Dr. Phil is the biggest arse kicker out there.

He lost all his hair practicing head butts on red necks...no offense to practicing red necks.

If you mean mind over matter here are a few thoughts.

A: "I don't mind 'cos you don't matter."

B: "If it hurts your thinking to much about it."

C: "Pain is just a four letter word."

You need an English teacher to help you master your writing skills.

i am asking for more of an opinion on the subject rather than asking a question i just wanted to see what some of your opinions on motor learning ring physcology ect. i base a lot of my teaching and training on how the mind is stronger than the body and was just wondering if any of you agree.

Stick to the physical and the mental will follow.

**Rasputin** · 10-02-2006, 21:32

Yep. The mental comes from years of sweat and pain on the mats.

I disagree. For some people, yea, eventually they get it. But you can teach the mental the same way you can teach the physical. Granted, it usually takes getting physical with them to break down the mind and start rebuilding to deal with the stress you placing them under.

Agreed, Tony. It's matter over mind. Many times, your mind wants to give up, feel sorry for yourself n' whatnot. Your body can teach your brain quite a bit about itself..

There is interconnectedness of the mind and the body and power of each to affect the other. For optimal training, all aspects, physical and mental, "hard and soft", should be explored. The challenge may be in finding a teacher with this mindset & philosophy and in which they train their MA students in this manner from day one.
