TIP #27 CLOSE YOUR EYES

A quick and simple way to deepen practice, use this technique to improve feel and accuracy. It works for other skills: to improve body awareness and balance, to disassemble and reassemble a weapon, to cooperate and build a tent. Closing the eyes swiftly nudges to the edges of ability, into sweet spot. It sweeps away distraction and engages the other senses to provide new feedback. It helps engrave the blueprint of a task on the brain by making even a familiar skill seem strange and fresh.
