In my martial arts training I know I've had that experience, where you don't react to a "move" with another "move", you actually "respond" automatically. But it's not automatic as in because it's a move that's been practiced billions of times, but rather it's automatic because it didn't come from Ego.
On my last grading my opponent punched at me in a unexpected way because I "made a mistake" and opened up an opportunity, and then automatically I responded and dodged his punch totally without any thinking whatsoever. My Sensei saw it and told me later that this "dodge" was worth my grading right there. It showed adaptation without thinking.
Hard to explain to people not in martial arts, but it really has nothing to do with "practicing" a "move" thousands of times until you do it automatically. It's a different kind of automatic.
