How can you block an attack without thinking?

Answer 1

Practice, practice and more practice. If you do blocks over and over and over. high blocks, low blocks, inside, and outside middle blocks, you build muscle memory.

If you just repeat those blocks everyday for about 30 min. you will do it without thinking, because your muscles remember the movement.

Answer 2

By practicing defensive techniques repetitively, the body can naturally react without explicit thought when faced with an attack. Muscle memory developed through training allows for faster and more instinctive responses in self-defense situations. Engaging in regular self-defense training can help condition the body to react quickly and effectively without needing conscious thought.
