FLOW is a mental state attained when a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity – otherwise known as being ‘In the Zone’.

MUSHIN is a mental state achieved when there is an absence of thought and judgment, so the person is totally free to act and react without hesitation in everyday life or in combat towards an opponent.   The mind is working at a very high speed, but with no intentions, plans, or direction. At this point, a person relies not on what they think should be the next move, but what is their trained natural reaction or what is felt intuitively. Mushin is analogous to flow.
