    One thing I enjoy about guitar is that it never feels like “practice”. If you find something you enjoy you’re always “playing”.

    So true what he says about handicapped training. The most my striking improved was after I broke my left hand. I continued sparring against guys at my level with only one hand & my legs. My control of range & angles got so sharp that when my hand recovered & I started using both hands, none of the guys at my gym in my category could beat me.

    This is going to sound cheesy but I’m just a blue belt hobbyist, and this video has helped me drop my ego and pride that it’s OK to “lose” to higher belts and also lower belts. My skills have gotten a lot better since

    When it comes to combat training I'd rather lose every single day in the ring or on the mats because atleast I know I'm training with people who are better than me

  • @untilvalhalla7854

    I am trying to train this way more. I have some things that work for me. But trying new things ups my chances of “losing” the roll. If I don’t try and occasionally take the “loss”, I’ll never improve.
    I see that now and am working on that attitude.

    This makes me so sad because the average MMA gym doesn't have trainers with this kind of mindset. The environments are so, so toxic and it's made worse by the trainers.

      @@unknowninfinium4353 Sure! So in an MMA gym I went to once there was a young guy 18ish years old who was being brash and cocky about his boxing to the boxing trainer and his team. So that trainer put him up against his fighters who took turns 1 by 1 knocking him out. He ended up in the locker room with a massive headache (a scary sign after being KO'd so many times) and I was contemplating calling an ambulance. Sure, he was being verbally cocky, but that doesn't give you the right as a professional to give someone repeated brain trauma just to prove your point. That's just 1 story I have.

      With respect - I would recommend using the actual definition of ego (the “I” or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, and willing, and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought.) and not some pop culture herd mentality version of “ego”. High self esteem provides a person the ability to “have fun” and have confidence to continue to enjoy it and not worry about other’s reactions. No ego would mean no self esteem. You may want no self esteem but for me that would mean no fun.
