When someone attacks you it is not technique number one (or is it technique number two, stance two, section four?) that you are doing, but the moment you are 'aware' of his attack you simply move in like sound and echo without deliberation. It is as though when I call you, you answer me, or when I throw something to you, you catch it. That's all."
