I came across this article (http://www.realfighting.com/0702/laurart.html), written by Darren Laur some time ago, and most of it made sense to me at the time, but after recently reviewing it for a second time, my impression of it has changed somewhat. In particular, I did a double take after reading the following paragraph:
As a certified hypnotherapist, I am using the science and art of hypnosis and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) to pre-program stimulus /response issues directly into the subconscious, specific to combat performance. Not only have I have seen a DRAMATIC increase in combative performance in those students in which I am using hypnosis and NLP, but I am also experiencing about a 50% decrease in the amount of time needed to make a student unconsciously competent in the skill set taught, when compared to those who I have not conducted this type of training with. In fact, I truly believe that hypnosis and NLP specific to combatives, will be the next nexus in training
I'm in no way claiming that there isn't value in the research that Darren Laur has conducted, but this is an article that repeatedly pops up in the martial arts community, and since it's so popular, I feel that it needs to be looked at critically. I realize that this is a very long article, and I don't expect many replies, but if it doesn't take up too much of your time, I'd appreciate some feedback.
