Yup, I know what you mean. It's an awesome feeling. It's pretty much a feeling of nothingness, like nothing happened. Kind of like your body just moved on it's own and by the time your brain cought up to what just happened it was already over.
I've experienced this in other areas of life besides martial arts, but martial arts brings this out more often because that is what you're essentially training towards. You're training to become nothing, to become zero. I know some will understand.
