It takes time to build new reactions into our brain neurons. At least 166 repetitions are required to just remember a movement and thousands are required to refine it to a practical skill. How we learn is to performan action, then measure it against the correct response, then modify our internal neural parameters until we achieve success. In the absence of personal one-on-one training with a great master who would correct every reaction, we must rely on o...
