If you are serious about getting an edge and have the commitment, practice zazen meditation. This trains your mind to be empty and to move without thinking. You also learn to release all attachments to ego, fear, winning, and losing. Taken to extremes you eventually transcend duality, subject and object, becoming one with your opponent. At this point, you begin to know your opponent's moves even before he makes it. A few people have attained this level. Traditional Japanese martial arts was tied to Zen Buddhism and it produced superior swordsmen facing life and death situations with pure detachment.

Do you practice zazen meditation, and if so, how difficult is it to perform?
