Sounds like a major day-dream to me...

BJJShotoshe explained it very well. you've done the katas so many times that is has become second nature to you. can you imagine if you punched and kicked like that normally? imagine you were sparring someone in class and they swong at you and you automatically avoided it and returned a perfect kick without thinking about it, without feeling it, without really caring. its a very good thing to have this feeling, or atleast thats what my sensei once told me. it comes from meditation, and takes a while to enter this state of mind. although if you think about it, doing your kata's is actually meditating, so doing them over and over and over will infact help you to this point.

It sounds like a good thing. From what little I know, it sounds like mushin. I would practice again, but if you try and get there again you probably won't.

i remember the first time i had that feeling( sigh ) it was during a smoker ( free style kickboxing match )
and i got clocked right in the head with a left hook. i shook it off and then my body just kind of took over and i ended up beating the guy. in my opinion it is the result of constant practise and dedication to your martial art of choice.

|
|
I do this all the time, want to know how to do it again and again and again....and what you were experiencing is not like a runners high, nor was it body muscle memorization, it is a sacred thing. Anyways do the below.
Do your kata again outside with instrimental/tribal music really low, blind fold yourself and relax, breathe, while you are moving and doing your waza or kata listen instead to the sounds around you and smells. It will happen over and over. I won't go into details but just do as I said and you should seriously think about becoming highly addicted and determined more then you are now, what you had was a 5% dose of Ki energy. When you begin to concentrate on your self you lose it. instead allow the energy to flow from you by relaxing and just doing it.
Good luck

Congratulations, thats really dope.
There probably is a scientific explanation to this, as someone said about endorphins, but i think it truly is a spiritual experience as Manabimasho1 said. That happened to me to an extent today while i was doing a complete review. I was about halfway through when I "zoned out" and kind watched myself do the rest of the format.

i love that feeling. usually if i'm alone and its quiet, i get that when i do a kata. its very meditative, there's no you or anthing else, just the kata. if you're talking about what i'm talking about, its not due to endorphins. even if you do the kata really slowly so you're not really exerting yourself, you will still get that feeling. mushin is the perfect word for it.

Much time has passed since then, and I agree wholeheartedly. I am experiencing this when doing techniques slowly or fast. I find that practicing with a bag or makiwara is also a good method to use.
