Hello. As a martial artist, I have observed "muscle memory" for various techniques in which the sequence has been practiced over and over. The routine is sped up with practice, and often the moves can be performed without really focusing attention on them; rather, they just 'flow out'. Which areas of the brain are responsible for this and how long does it take to acquire? Are there degrees of muscle memory? How long does it take to unlearn? Thanks very much for your time.
Re: Where does motor memory come from, specifically for karate strikes?
