Atomistic back to Holistic

It is a matter of taking all the individual parts and placing them holistically back as one whole entity that is coordinated, integrated, and rhythmic in its application in practice or life. This is true martial art.

Once this has been accomplished the next phase is balancing the flux between atomistic and holistic where the blend is fluid and instinctively adjusts to events both in time and in space. My theory as to why true masters of martial systems seemingly move and apply their art flawlessly and seemingly with ease are simply applying the holistic whole of their system in "slow down time."

The intensity and ease of this level of concentration takes a person out of linear time and places them in a time space location that removes the sense of time and that removal of time explains how the  mind perceives "slow down time" where no matter the intensity and speed of external movements the true master "sees" and "hears" things allowing the mind to retrieve and apply tactics that seem to literally come "before" the uke can even think the attack.

I can imagine that the uke's sense of time is affected similarly where in lieu of slow-down-time their sense of time is fast and they find themselves caught in a vortex from the master further imposing a sense of time even observers take as "extraordinary" thus validating the masters status.

It therefore can be hypothesized that time is the true manifestation of mastery over the martial systems and this holistic view fits into the Asian wholeness as taught through Zen Buddhist practices.
