Zanshin

Zanshin is a Japanese martial art concept that means "remaining mind." It means that you stay aware and focused even after a fight has ended. You stay prepared for any potential danger or future attacks that might come your way. Zanshin helps martial artists stay ready in case there is a follow up attack from their opponent and it also helps them stay focused in the present moment so that they can react quickly to anything that comes their way.
