I have been doing some reading on the 'spiritual' side of some of the
martial arts, and I have run into a few passing references to 'training
the intent'.

What does this mean? I have tried to find a suitable description or
definition, but with no luck.

Any and all thoughts are welcome.

Thanks!

It might be a translation from another language.

What style? What language? Can you quote the whole passage, or a whole
sentence, so we can help by judging the context in which it was used?

Training the intent would be focusing on your goal and training on
that goal. If your goal is to punch really hard, you need to train by
punching really hard. You want to be able to take a hit, you must
train by getting hit alot.

The phrase "you fight as you train" comes to mind here. . .

I can't see that at all. I would interpret it as either training to
hide your intentions, or training to detect your opponent's intentions.

How do you train to hide your intentions or detect your opponent's
intentions? And what does that (the 2nd one) mean, anyway? It almost
sounds like clairvoyance or precognizance. Is that what you mean?

Training the intent would mean training to hide you intent? Where did
you find that one? In your ass?

Need a definition of the word intent?

I don't have time to really get into it, just thought i'd give a direction.
I believe he's quoting from ideas mentioned in buijinkan taijutsu. Neil
isn't far off, kind of a mix of that and their 'energy work'.

"Training the intent" may be a interpretation of training one's
"resolve." Read one of the translations of Mushashi's "Book of five Rings."

That'd be the Sean Connery translation?
