One point of training is to build in a set of responses so that there is no thinking when under pressure.

In a 'real'TM fight the mind/intent leads the movement of the body and ones training engages the limbs sort of automatically. Almost no thought about where to put hands or feet even happens. The technique just sort of happens. I know it sounds goofy and a couple of years ago I'd have called BS but now it sort of just happens that way.

Try kote gaeshi without even moving the feet and see just how silly the point about which foot goes where is.

Except for here. It's not silly at all. If you move the wrong foot, or no foot (unless you also know how to move your center as if you moved the correct foot without moving your feet which very few people I've ever laid hands on can do) you won't get me or lots of people I know in kotegaeshi, ever.
