Acquire the kinesthetic perception in tension-creating situations— distinguish between the relaxed and the tense states. Practice controlling the body responses voluntarily and at will. Use only those muscles required to perform the act, using them as economically as possible, and not using the other muscles to perform movements which do not contribute to the act or which interfere with it. Expend constructively both the mental and physical energy (economical, neuromuscular, perceptive movement). In coordinated, graceful, and efficient movement, the opposing muscles must be relaxed and lengthen readily and easily.

It takes perception, practice, and willingness to train the mind into new habits of thinking and the body into new habits of action. A champ is one who makes every motion count, and he accomplishes maximum results with a minimum expenditure of energy.

You and your opponent are one. There is a coexisting relationship between you. You coexist with your opponent and become his complement, absorbing his attack and using his force to overcome him.
