To answer this question is attributes. You say what is attributes. Well attributes is why a martial artist does what he is capable of doing. Attributesconsist of speed , power, coordination, balance, killer instinct. This what makes him better than everybody else. Look at Muhammed Ali, great boxer, he had those attributes that nobody else has. Bruce Lee had the hand speed that was almost frightening. Michael Jordan, great baskeball player, Jump shots. What made this atheletes stand out above everybody else.Attributes, Not everybody can be a Michael Jordan, Bruce Lee or Muhammed Ali. But if you train your attributes you can be as good as them. But it takes hard word, determination and motivation.
Lots of training, hard word and sweat is what is going to get you there. Talking, well that don't count. Put up or shut up. Or as the old saying goes, "Action speaks louder than words".
