    I think its helpful before a tournament to know what your best move is for each position and visualize using it so you react quickly instead of hesitating in a position, thinking about what you should do.

    Never no. I tend to day dream about different things I want to try or work on more, but never mentally replying in first person. You really feel the benefit from it?

    yeah it has helped me stay sharper, like i remember a technique quicker in a roll. try it out and tell me your results. im curious to see if its a "placebo" on my part.

    I feel like all i do is think about moves when im not training. Mostly i zone out when people are talking and im just getting my mental reps in. Plus im pretty sure that is how moves get created.

    I think there's definitely some benefit to visualization. Read up on mirror neurons if you're interested in this topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron

    tl;dr summary: There are neurons in your brain that fire the same when you observe an act as they do when you actually perform that act. So maybe observing reps can help establish the same neural pathways that are formed from doing actual reps.

    I hate my job, so I do it all day at work. I think Visual reps help commit techniques to memory. This morning I was visualizing doing a electric chair sweep straight into a raver roll back take.

    No prob. It's pretty new to me, but it sounds promising/interesting. I heard about it in one of Stefan Kesting's Grapple Arts videos on youtube.
