Question

If your a black belt and your get amnisia, do you for get everything you know?

Answer 1

It depends on which kind. There are two kinds; anterograde and retrograde, and it is possible to have both at the same time. Anterograde is when you cannot make new memories, but can remember your past before you developed amnesia.  Think of that Memento movie. Retrograde is the opposite- you can't remember your past but you can learn new things.

Someone else mentioned muscle memory- it is true your body can retain "memory" through habit- this is because it's controlled by a seperate part of the brain. There have been studies done of teaching an amnesiac a new skill. The person is able to become better through repetition but cannot ever recall learning the skill in the first place.

Say you taught him how to do a front kick, and you repeated this process every day- you would have to go through  the motions of reintroducing it to him because he will not remember you ever teaching him. However, he would have a great front kick (not a beginner's front kick) because his body is conditioned to the the skill.

Answer 2

There are different sort of amnesia. Some people forget ony certain things, some more. Generally life skills and physical skills are remembered by most.

For example language.

Answer 4

no. martial arts is about muscle memory. so, you may forget your techniques in your head, but if you are suddenly attacked, your body will react the way you previously trained it.
