Humans and injured animals can drop into reptilian mode. Can this technique be applied to hitting?
In
some martial arts a technique is taught that allows an individual to
control their state of mind in defense scenarios. It is believed that everyone reacts
defensively differently depending on which of the three states of mind
they’re in: human (cerebral), animal, or reptilian. I’ve seen
demonstrations of each mode in action…so I believe that if a human can
get into a reptilian state of mind where there’s no thinking
involved…only reaction, then, so can animals when injured.
I can see a practical application with this technique in self defense for humans. However, since hitting involves some thinking during an at bat, it's no brainer to forget about this approach to hitting...pun intended.
