Hard training makes confidence, confidence allows for stable emotions.

When we practice basic techniques we teach the whole body to cooperate to one purpose, but at the same time by coordinating the intention and breath with the outer action and muscles action we learn to give our mind away, to not hold back anything in our technique. Learning to have our full intention, breath and muscles a 100% is much harder than just coordinating the body.
