  2. I record all your AMAs on my phone and my wisdom skyrocketed. I use a lot of your principles to get through my sluggish workouts. Keep em coming man, you're a great man.

  6. Thanks for answering my questions Coach ? you said that you believe everyone has a talent and it is up to us to find it, but how can you best find out what talent you have?

  7. The difference between sprinting and MMA is that the rules are very rigid with sprinting whereas in MMA the fighter defines the rules to the game more. Whichever fighter can impose his set of “rules” (wrestling, jiu jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, etc) will win. Each discipline has its own set of rules. Thus, MMA is a game within a game. We can use any set of rules and combine them in whatever way want. This leaves large areas of deficiencies for each fighter because you only have so much time to learn the rules of each game. Any talent and/or genetic superiority you may have can be negated by changing the “rules” of the game to suit you. For example, the 250 lb boxer getting submitted by a 150 lb jiu jitsu player. The boxer could use his size and strength to pound him so the jiu jitsu player changes the rules by pulling guard. The MMA game is filled with fighters that exploit the lack of knowledge of their sports rules. Gracie’s started it but Lyota Machida and Stephen Thompson are more modern examples.

  8. Genius mindset. Now with the talent part, does it not force more physiological and biological demands, e.i. overworking the body, faster recovery, hormone control has to be more prevalent.
    Legs infront of the other, to run faster, means to output more. Leverage and connection points with joints and tendons coupled with advanced hormone control, adaption, addition, removing waste factors in the body faster, break the muscles down and make them recover just as fast.
    How much would steroids play in a complex sport like MMA vs pure talent sport like track and field events per example ?

  10. Agree with you, adding that in track & field you don't have weight category, so it's another factor. About complexity of (brazilian ?) jiu jutsu, how many techniques exist ?
