What do you guys think about it? do you think mentally repping moves in your mind helpful? can it add actual reps?

[Martin Campbell]

I tend to take notes on the techniques we learned that day and write stuff down the way I'll remember it. I do think about the warm ups in my head to try and remember them, I want them memorized so I can do them in my sleep.

Hahahah, I do it unintentionally while im stoned, I'll just zone out and think of where I either fu^ked up in a roll or where something works, it just happens, it'll happen to you too lol

have you tried repping it mentally in first person in great detail?

haha nice. i was wondering if before going to bed or when their is some quiet time, just close my eyes and mentally rep things. wonder if that can help get the technique down better. like getting extra reps in. get me?

Yes, burns a new pathway in your brain.

100%! Been doing it a lot recently... Helps keep all the little details into my head so when I go to roll with people I can more readily remember them. Better than doing nothing at all!

I would say yes and no. It helps you see the moves helping with reaction times because you sequence that lead to it. And you should have somewhat even if its a little bit, a better understanding of the mechanics of the move. But there's definitely an element of what I call the matrix effect (where Neo knows the move intellectually but his body still requires sometime to catch up) for new moves and after having long periods off from training.

If you can't 'see' yourself do it, you won't do it. However, mental reps generate and grow from actual reps.
