There are two parts to what the author said. You left out the part where the author said :
" The key is to be able to focus more attention on the feeling and form of your movement
than the speed and power of the attacker."
"
Once you focus on the attack, you are giving energy to the attacker."
It is not that you are ignoring what is going on but that your response is automatic due to your training and your mind is not focused on the attack or the attacker.
