Building combinations are essentially building
movement memories.
It becomes reactionary because you make a
groove so many times that it just happens.
So that's why it's so important to throw your
combinations correctly.
Pay attention to your footwork.
Pay attention to the techniques.
Don't come up deficient in your technique
or else you're going to create a wrong pattern.
What these movement patterns are, these movement
memories, they're called motor engrams.
Traditional martial artists work their motor
engrams doing forms and katas.
Boxers work their combinations.
And when done efficiently, those grooves that
the boxer makes, those patterns of movement,
the combinations that he or she initiates,
create that perfect groove so it becomes second
nature and they can react to their opponent
and come out victorious.
