By the way, here's the thing though, 43 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 1: at the age of six, he developed exema and severe asthma. 44 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: His ex ama ment he always wore long sleeves, turtlenecks, 45 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: and gloves, and his asthma meant he was unable to 46 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: partake an exercise and was squently relatively skinny. He was 47 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 1: bullied on a daily basis as a child. Boss became 48 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: interested in martial arts at age twelve after his family 49 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: went on vacation to France, where he basically snuck into 50 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 1: Enter the Dragon, starring Bruce Lee, at a local movie theater. 51 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: He was too young. He's gonna talk all about this, 52 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: but what I want to focus on is he had 53 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: the barrier to exercise with asthma. Was constantly in bed 54 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: as a child, constantly fighting severe severe asthma.

When it comes to exercise where 101 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: you had extreme asthma, and when it comes to you know, 102 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: being an actor, you know you had a skin condition. 103 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 1: So how did you just rise above that as a kid.

You can be 105 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: look at me boo boo, also sad or you say, 106 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, let's let's see if you can do something 107 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: with it. And that's what I did. I just you know, 108 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: I got bullied a lot, of course because kids don't 109 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: understand the skin disease. And but that you know, little 110 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: fire in me. And then suddenly when I started was 111 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: allowed finally, after a couple of years of begging my 112 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: parents to start martial arts, I started training with adults. 113 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: Somebody took me under a swing because there was the 114 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: tough guy who was dating my neighbor, Gill, and he 115 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 1: kind of put his arms around me, so to say, 116 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: and he took me to the progress the adult classes. 117 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: And then but the I mean, but in months, I 118 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: was start beating the adults. And then I overheard you 119 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: these guys talking about me in the dressing room. Oh 120 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: my god, this kid's got has a lot of talent. 121 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: And if you only Yeah, I heard before that you're 122 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,280 Speaker 1: a leper or you know, like because of the skin disease. 123 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 1: You know, that's that's suddenly it's positive. And I started 124 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: listening to what they got into a five with the 125 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: biggest bully in the in my school, knocked him out 126 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: one punch, and that I'm telling you that from my 127 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: bully stopped right there. Yeah, that that tends to do 128 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: it right, when you pick up a fight with the 129 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: biggest guy and um, you end up winning. So that's 130 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: it's so powerful boss for people to hear that that 131 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: you know, and you said it perfectly. You use your 132 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: fuel as your fire right. You use that to not 133 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: keep you from achieving your goals, but actually motivate you 134 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: to get there, because I'm sure you use a lot 135 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: of that anger, especially you know in the fighting days 136 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: and then you know into your entrepreneurial slash actor days. 137 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: You just use that rights as a fuel, you know. Like, 138 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: but when I see now I watched back and I 139 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: see myself fight. Sometimes sometimes somebody says, oh today, Boston, 140 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 1: so many years ago foot this fight, and then when 141 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: I click on it, you know, I I still know 142 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,119 Speaker 1: what I was thinking at that moment. If I didn't 143 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: like the guy or like the guy, you know, but 144 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: I realized there's a completely different guy than I am 145 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: right now, and I wasn't really like, yeah, we we were, 146 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: you know. I do the Ultra Marathon's, Iron Man's things 147 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: like that. Totally different, you know, different kind of discomfort. 148 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: But I always say I was much angrier back when 149 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: I was going faster and farther. Right, I'm I'm much 150 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: happier in a different way. I got. I got a 151 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: lot of that out right, And that's, uh, that's an 152 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 1: interesting kind of way, but it's it's a good it's 153 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: a good outlet, right, and it's okay to do that. 154 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: It's okay to to be angry and to use that 155 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: to to achieve your goals. Yeah, as long as you 156 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: use it for that. It's the same as when I 157 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: say that people, you know, as a fighter, as an 158 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: athlete in general, you need an ego, you know. But 159 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: the trick is to keep that ego just to sport, 160 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: to do your sport what you do, because what you 161 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 1: start carrying an outside which you sometimes see from other fighters, Yeah, 162 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: then you've become the douchebag. You don't to have an 163 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: ego for yourself. You know, do you always go to 164 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: the hardest, the fastest. You always want to be the best, 165 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: You always want to be It always motivates me. Man. 166 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: I I never thought I was there, not even close. 167 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: I would always think my opponent was pretty harder than myself, 168 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: you know, I could. I was really good it self motivation, 169 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: talking to myself and then just we should crap out 170 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: of me. I love that, and that that kind of 171 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: rolls right into what I want to talk about too. 172 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: So I'm big into the sports psychology. Did a master's 173 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 1: degree in that. And you know, even as you said, 174 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: as I was watching your videos, uh you know when 175 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: the fight where you had your stern and broken and 176 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: you know they're doing the close ups on your face, 177 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: you had obviously your mental game down incredibly. Well can 178 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: you talk a little bit, I mean, were you doing 179 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: the self talk? Were you doing the visualizations before the fights? 180 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: How are you using mental tools to to get where 181 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: you needed to go? You know, I first of all, 182 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 1: I break everything down in my head because love of people. 183 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: They they're they're afraid, and I go, okay, so what 184 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: are you fid up? Right? You know? And if you're 185 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: honest to yourself which you only can be, of course, 186 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: because you know immediately if you lie or not. But 187 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: if you just tell yourself, okay, what's the worst thing 188 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: that can happen? Okay, you gonna knock me out? Is 189 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: that really the worst thing that can happen, because apparently 190 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: you won't feel it? Okay, good again in a submission, 191 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: Oh I tap because if I don't tap, I have 192 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 1: a chance if I breaking my arm or whatever. Submission 193 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: has been So if I tap, no, that's also not good. 194 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: Why is the worst thing that kept Well, the worst 195 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: thing that could happen would be a complete mismatch, and 196 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,960 Speaker 1: you're finding a guy who's completely tooling your schooling you, 197 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: making fun of you in front of an audience, but 198 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: with great matchmaking, that will never happen. So then you 199 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 1: start thinking, okay, so why would I be nervous? And 200 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: then you realize all the fighters they're nervous for the 201 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 1: back lass they're gonna get from other people. And the 202 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: way I talked to my students, I always say, if 203 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: they're a week before they fight, it's one of the 204 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,599 Speaker 1: first fights. They're very nervous already a week before, and 205 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: I go, okay, let's visualize this Let's imagine your opponent 206 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: walks in right now and you both going in that room. 207 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna lock the door. There's no windows, no nothing 208 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 1: in there, and you fight and then whoever wins, you're 209 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: not allowed to say whoever who who were lost? And 210 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: then you open the door. You both walk out. But 211 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: would you care if you would lose? And then well 212 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: they say no, I said why not? Yeah, because you 213 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: know he was your stronger. Okay, So that means that 214 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: you are not fighting for yourself. You're fighting to please 215 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: the audience. And once you start doing that fighting for 216 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: other people, that's when you put too much pressure on yourself. 217 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: And most of the time they see that they go like, 218 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: oh wow, it is true. Indeed, you know if you 219 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: put so much pressure on yourself. But you know that's 220 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: the trick. You're fighting and in competition for your competition 221 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: as well. You know why you need to push and 222 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: you've never been there and you're at the end of whatever, 223 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: the final run, the final swim, whatever you're doing, you 224 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: know you you need to go to a place that 225 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: you hopefully you've been there before so that you can 226 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,319 Speaker 1: use that that moment to to to spark now yourself to, 227 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: you know, to go all the way. You know, there's 228 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: always but you needed a moment like that. For instance, 229 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 1: what I also with that you go to a safe place. 230 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: They always said, you know, go where it's comfortable. And 231 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: I go, that's what's so stupid what people say. And 232 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: I go, wait a minute, if I create that safe place. 233 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: So I will go to the beach a couple of 234 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: weeks before the fight and I would sit there suns comes, 235 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: sun comes up in the morning, meditate, see the sun 236 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: coming up. That will be my spot if I needed 237 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: to go somewhere, you see. So I started creating those 238 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: things that people say you have to do, but if 239 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: you never did it, you don't have a space to 240 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: go to. So but create one, you know, and that 241 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: that helped me just tremendously. Suddenly I wasn't nervous anymore 242 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 1: because now I was fighting for myself and that's for 243 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,559 Speaker 1: my family, not for my friends. No. No, And it 244 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: sounds like of an ego maniac, But guess what if 245 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: I don't fight for my family, I don't have any pressure. 246 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: And if I don't have a pressure, I fight my best. 247 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: If I fight my best, I'm probably going to win. 248 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: And that means I get more money, you see, so 249 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: that my family. You know, it's amazing, is you're hitting 250 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: on all like if you actually study sports psychology, you 251 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: just hit on like three different specific sports psychology you 252 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: know tools, and you know you're doing this in the 253 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: nineties early nineties, even before a lot of the sports 254 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: psychology stuff was was popular, So you were doing visualization 255 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,440 Speaker 1: and you had that place to go. And I gotta 256 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: even backtrack. There was so much in that um when 257 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: you talk about, you know, stress being a process and 258 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: a choice, and it's basically have I been there before? 259 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 1: And if so, was I successful? And if not, do 260 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: I have the tools that I need to get me 261 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: through it? And I love how you just go to 262 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: worst case scenario and and for so many people, as 263 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: as you're saying, it's really not that bad, it's really 264 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: not that bad, it isn't it is really not you know, 265 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: you look at the military. These guys didn't make a mistake. 266 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: They die, you know. Then and then let's go through 267 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: the excubutive sports, those egg games, the guys with motorcycles 268 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: that make three sole sold back. You see that, I 269 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: think that is they He goes, well, there they might 270 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 1: literally die with us. You got a referee pulls you off, 271 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: it's not that bad, right And if you're not afraid, Boss, 272 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: I was thinking about this. Did you ever see the movie? Um? 273 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: I was thinking about you the Ice Guardians, about hockey 274 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: enforcers back in the day. Oh no, But I heard 275 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,599 Speaker 1: the guys with Ohio you would love the profiles a 276 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: couple and one guy said the only thing that scared 277 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: him was getting knocked out in front of his girlfriend. 278 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 1: That was all he cared about. That was you know, 279 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: it wasn't about uh, you know, the fans or anything 280 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,079 Speaker 1: like that. It was just one person. But I so 281 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: appreciate what you're saying about doing it for yourself, and 282 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: I would say it's not an egocentric thing. I know myself. 283 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 1: When I was doing Iron Man's before the internet, Boss, 284 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: it didn't matter because no one could follow me, right, 285 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: no one knew what was Now I know in real 286 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: time that people are literally tracking my progress and when 287 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: something is hey wire. You know that's stressful if you 288 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: let it. But to your point, I learned over the 289 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: years to go, I don't care what they're doing, I 290 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 1: don't care that they're watching. This is about me, and 291 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: that's not ego centric, right, that's why we're doing. Yeah, 292 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: and listen, if you're I'm just running and cycling and biking, 293 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: you're getting hit and you know, body parts twisted and stuff. So, uh, 294 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: if you can do that, that's amazing. So you were 295 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: you were doing visualization, you were going to the beach 296 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: and you had that place to go and I do that. 297 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: You know when a swim goes hey wire, I go 298 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: to that place and you're still You're still moving forward, right, 299 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: you just have to move forward. That's the whole. And 300 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: you know what I love to bosses. I was watching 301 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: your videos and I saw the RS on your right hand. 302 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: I used to write suffer, So the opposite of what 303 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: your your message was to yourself to go harder, because 304 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: I generally didn't push myself hard enough. But you had 305 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: the R, which was what in Dutch for rusting. Is 306 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: that how you pronounce it? Yeah, yeah, coincidentally starts relax. 307 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: It's the same world, so coincidentally starts with an R 308 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: as well here with America. So that was good and 309 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: it's the translation the same way calm or or yeah, 310 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: being calm and literally because I did that because I 311 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: found out on the first of all I found On 312 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: the day of the fight out, I found out that 313 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: my opponent was thirty five parts every than I was right. 314 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: And then there were no weight classes. And then when 315 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: I asked how many rounds, he said one, and I 316 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: was so happy. And when I asked how many minutes 317 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: he said thirty And like, okay, now, allow me need 318 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: to sell. But calm myself down because I'm such a 319 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: hot head, especially at the time. You know, I will 320 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: be very technical, but somebody connect, Oh, I go nuts. 321 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to knock him out. So if 322 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: I lose control the first two minutes and I can 323 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: still and I can't put him away, and they got 324 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: twenty eight more minutes to go, that's the problem, right, 325 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: And I love that And it's so simple. Ye's so powerful, 326 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: right for you, that's what worked for me. It was 327 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: suffer and for someone else just doing that little thing. 328 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: And that's what you know, everyone can do to help 329 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: them achieve their goals. And it doesn't matter how big 330 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: or how small, it's just whatever works for you. And 331 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: as you're saying, it's not a matter if things are 332 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: gonna go wrong, But what right suddenly you're told is 333 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: thirty minutes. Suddenly this guy's you know, hardly in your 334 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: weight class, but you just keep moving forward. You go, okay, 335 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: I can deal with this, right, Yeah. You just prepare 336 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 1: for always the worst case scenario. That's what I always 337 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: did always, and if you do that, it can never 338 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: go wrong. I had asked my I lost the fight 339 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: one time because of stemina, or that will never happen again, 340 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: And then I became this incredible conditioning guy. I just 341 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: taught myself to love stemina because because of my asthma, 342 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: if I would get tired, I would try to stay 343 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: away from it because I was afraid of it, you know, 344 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: But that was because of my askma. Once I started 345 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: realized that, I go, wait a minute, dude, you gotta 346 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 1: simply push you. And so then when I got really tired, 347 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: I would go, I love that, I love and I 348 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: want to get more tied more time. But I I'm 349 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: telling you, it started working, and suddenly now I needed it. 350 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: It was almost like an addiction. Now I needed to 351 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: get super tired because then I would I guess it's 352 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: the runner's high, would you guys have I would feel 353 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: that my teeth would glow when I would drive, and 354 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: that changed everything. Now suddenly I knew how to push 355 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: and to constantly push and that was it. Yeah, you know, 356 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 1: you're we're built in the same way. As far as 357 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: the endurance goes. I do the durance because I know 358 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: you can go ahead of me in the race, but 359 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch you. And my line is as the 360 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: race gets longer, I get stronger as the race gets longer. 361 00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: And that's my mantra. And you are using those mantras, 362 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: so you do have that self talk in your head 363 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: as you're in the later stages of the fight. Those 364 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: over times you did, you had I'm sure some mantras 365 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: like you were just saying, yeah, it's just just don't quit. 366 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: Don't good and you know, and if something slips in, 367 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: oh sho, he might beat me. And then then the 368 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: other voice is gonna say, okay, but you know he's 369 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: gonna have to work for it. You know, if okay, 370 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: I might lose, but he's gonna feel it that I'm 371 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 1: not gonna give it away, you know, And as long 372 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: as she keeps talking like that, and you know it's 373 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: also I had a few places that that really saved 374 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: my bott Also, like the second fight, I came in 375 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: already I was. I was cocky. The second fight, knocked 376 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: out my first supportant in Ja Ben, forty three seconds. 377 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: He was the number four. Now I was going to 378 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,680 Speaker 1: fight the number six, Like god, it's gonna be easy. 379 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: So such an idiot. I was such an idiot. And 380 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: and sure enough, the day before I got sick, they 381 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: let me travel from eight o'clock in the morning til 382 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: the afternoon till the fight. Was that you have to 383 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: understand nighttime, his day time. So I fell asleep at 384 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: seven am and then they am They let me travel 385 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: for like seven hours, you know. So I was was 386 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: throwing up, I was doing everything, and then I almost 387 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: lost that fight, and I pulled it off. I literally 388 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: used his breathing against him, like I had so less 389 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: power left. And I saw I hadn't been a guillotine 390 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: at Tampa anyway. I see him breathe, and I know 391 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: that if he breathes in, and at that moment I 392 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: knew him in the gut he could do five thousand 393 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: and sit up today he will go down. So I 394 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: timed it perfectly and he went down, and that was 395 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: the moment. But I after the fight, I went back 396 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: to the dressing room that I was by myself and 397 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,639 Speaker 1: I asked everybody to move out, and I told myself, 398 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: this will never happen again, dude, you will never think 399 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: it's gonna be an easy fight. So thankfully to me, 400 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: that happened early on in my career and I still 401 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: pull off a victory. My boy, I was that was 402 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,479 Speaker 1: such an ego. Pride. Pride is the worst one. They 403 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: always say, No, every person in hell is proud, right, 404 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: that's it. Pride get makes us do the dumbest things 405 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: all the time. But you know what, people talk about 406 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: failure and we just talked about that a little bit. 407 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: Failure is is you know, I would say, there is 408 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: no failure, right. The failure is making the same mistake 409 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: over and over again. So you learned, and you learned 410 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: quickly obviously in your business, or you don't. But but 411 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: there's no failure, right. And people talk about all the time, Oh, 412 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna fail. I've been told no, as I'm sure 413 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 1: you have thousands of times in my life. And that's 414 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: part of the success. You know what the cool thing 415 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: is with me, It's like, uh, they wanted me for 416 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,880 Speaker 1: one more fight back in Japan, and now I knew 417 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: I had the power because it was a champion that 418 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: was undefeated for like twenty fights in a row. And 419 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: I and I said, cool, I will fight with this 420 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: amount of money, which eventually we got. And I said, 421 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: and I want the the rights to all my fights. 422 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 1: You canna have it too, I said, but I want 423 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: to be able to sell them. So they gave me 424 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: all my fighting thirty fights in Japan, and I started 425 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: doing my own commentary over those fights, so for the 426 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: people at home, they can see what I'm thinking. And 427 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: then you see me. For instance, my last fight I 428 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: lost against sam My lost loss was that but the 429 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: need bar and he set it up a certain way. 430 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: And then I go like five fights forward, and then 431 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: I'm fighting Mary Smidt, and I'm telling the people at home, 432 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: I say, you remember the fight I lost against again, 433 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, remember what the set of us look at this? 434 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: And then you see me doing exactly the same setup. 435 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: And I beat Mary Smith with it too. So I 436 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 1: always said the loss. I've never been down. When I 437 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: was lost, I parted just as hard. I've never go 438 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,920 Speaker 1: like to the dress room crying. I never had that. 439 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 1: I always saw, like you said, this is the biggest 440 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: learning curve there is. You know, this mistake I will 441 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: never make again. So, yeah, all these people are depressed 442 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: after the loss, I said, I'm sorry. I never had that. 443 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: I was never depressed. I just thought, okay, this is 444 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: not gonna happen again, and made me stronger. I'm stronger. 445 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,679 Speaker 1: That's how I thought, right, Right, You just reframe it, right, 446 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 1: That's that's how it happens. You don't get good by 447 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: not you know, having those experiences. That's how you get good. Right. 448 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: Back to the guys on the skateboards. I aways look 449 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 1: at those guys, you know, motocross and stuff, and you think, 450 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: how many bones has this guy broken to get this good? Right, 451 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: that's what's so frightening. Yeah, no, right, that's that's right. 452 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: But that's one little mistake. You twist your ankle. Now, 453 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: you can't do anything like in martial arts, right. I 454 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: heard my risk for instance, you know, and I have 455 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: I have a really great way of dealing with that. 456 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: For instance, probably to be to fight, I hurt my 457 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,239 Speaker 1: right wrist. Okay, that's God telling me your right hand 458 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: is strong enough. Let's focus on the rest, you know. 459 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: But we still have the other things that we can 460 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: work with. A skateboarder, if he twitches his ankle, that's it. 461 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: He can a skateboard at all anymore. So it's much 462 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: harder for him that he gets injured. So that means 463 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: also that he wants to really watch out, and you 464 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: know as well as I do. When she would start 465 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 1: really watching out what you do, that's when you of 466 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: course get hurt. So they walk in the fine line 467 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: as well, same as in any of those crazy ex 468 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 1: game sports. Yeah, I love that. And back when I 469 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: was training clients boss the same thing. When someone would 470 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: you know, break a leg or whatever it was, or 471 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: just have a minor injury, I'd say this is awesome, 472 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 1: and they go, what are you talking about. You've been 473 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: doing the same thing. We need to mix things up, 474 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: and now we have to write. Because people do the 475 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: same thing, they tend to do what they're good at 476 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 1: and they don't get better because it's working on your weaknesses, 477 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: right that that gets you there. So an injury is 478 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: not a setback, it's actually an opportunity to get really good. 479 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 1: You know, just just what I said in my talks 480 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: always I do public speaking and motivational talks, and I 481 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: said to whatever is part of what whatever you don't 482 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: like and it is part of your job. Do that 483 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: a lot, because, for instance, with me, I I lost 484 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: three times by submission. I got so fed up with myself. 485 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: I didn't have anybody to train with. I found once 486 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: parting partner, and I started. Because I never liked it. 487 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: I thought it was a stupid sport, you know, stupid. 488 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: But you know, once I forced myself, I started training 489 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: to three times to day only your submissions. And suddenly, 490 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: just like with stamina that I did, I started liking it. 491 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: Not only that, I became obsessed with it. And once 492 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: I became obsessed with it, now I really wanted to 493 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 1: do I mean I always talked about this. I woke 494 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: up my wife at least six seven times in the 495 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: middle of the night because I would dream a submission. 496 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,719 Speaker 1: I would put her in that submission and then they 497 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: always shoulders, earning or legas already whatever it was. The 498 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: next day, I would do it training. You know, I 499 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: would love it. I would love it. But you know what, 500 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 1: because I started understanding it, I started loving it. And 501 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,159 Speaker 1: once I loved it, I did it a lot. I 502 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: never lost to fight again. I didn't lose you my 503 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,120 Speaker 1: last two fights and it's old because I didn't want 504 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: to lose one more time, and I had checked what 505 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: I was, what I didn't like the most. I said, 506 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: I'm going to learn teach myself to love this. And 507 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: once I started doing it, I started understanding it. And 508 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: most of the time when you don't like something is 509 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: because you don't understand it. But what you understand it, boom, 510 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: Suddenly it becomes something you want to do. You do 511 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: it a lut because you love it, and then you 512 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: become good. There's no other way that to become good. 513 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: You know. I once professor specifically, I'll never forget exactly 514 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: when he said it. He said, you know, if you 515 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: want to know what your weakness is, just ask your 516 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: competition and in your line of work. That's that's a really, 517 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: you know, tough thing to find out, but it's true. 518 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: And I remember vividly to football locker room wall. It said, 519 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: work on your weakness till it becomes your strength. Now, 520 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: I said, you don't have to make it your strength. 521 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: Let's just not make it your weakness, right, Let's not. 522 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: Let's not have it be a total thing that that 523 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: keeps you back. But I've said, boss, like, start one workout, 524 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: for me, the way to do it is start every 525 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 1: workout with one exercise you really don't like, just one 526 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,919 Speaker 1: and just get that out of the way, and then 527 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: maybe two or three. But that is where change happens, right, 528 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: And that's what you're describing. That's so cool that you 529 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: say that, because I do the same thing, and I 530 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: give myself assignments also, like I would go before I 531 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: grapple for us, as I say, okay, so they've only 532 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: got to tech his left leg and his right arm, 533 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: you know. And then even if I hat of submissions, 534 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't. I only go for those because apparently I 535 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: need to work on that. And then once you know, 536 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: and then these guys they start communicating with each other 537 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: because they knew what I was doing. They go August 538 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 1: the left night, right arm guys, So everybody wants out, 539 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: you know. So there defense automatically becomes better because it's 540 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: so now I need to be even more inventive in 541 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: order to still pull off submissions or that left leg 542 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: or the right arm. You see. So it always helps 543 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: you if you give yourselves assignments like that before you start, 544 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: right and just get it out of the way, and 545 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: they don't have to be wrong, and it doesn't have 546 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: to be you know, it just has to be consistent. 547 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 1: And one thing I want to swing too right away 548 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 1: because it's just amazing. So you were ahead of the 549 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: curve and sports psychology. And then I've heard you know, 550 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: your focus and your kind of strategy towards training back 551 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: in the day, and I love that. You said, you know, 552 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: you did very simple training and you said, you know, 553 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: nowadays there are way better ways to do it, and 554 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: I would argue the way you did it was a 555 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: great way and it still is right. So the basics work. Yes, 556 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: today we have more research and stuff and better fitness technology, 557 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: but you were so far ahead of the game with 558 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: your workouts. First of all, you talk about like specific 559 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: adaptations to impose demands. You're like, listen, here's how I fight. 560 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: So here's how I'm gonna do a bench press. Here's 561 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: where my hands positions are going to be. So this 562 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,199 Speaker 1: is how I'm gonna modify the exercises. And it's ten 563 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: to twelve exercises. It's a minute on, minute off essentially, 564 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: and you're gonna do the basics over and over, right, 565 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 1: That's it. That's it, you know, and uh, and it 566 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: works and all these people they uh, they always say, 567 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, a knock out. They try to be interesting, 568 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: you know, they go like, oh, it's knock present itself. 569 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: You don't have to look for the knockout. It will come. 570 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: I got it's complete bs because every knockout that I had, 571 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: what's a combination I worked on for the six weeks 572 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 1: before that fight. It's always like that. But I grinded 573 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,239 Speaker 1: if I say I worked on something, well, I did 574 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: that combination at least fifty don of times, you know, 575 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: because I'll go over and over and over. I'm like, 576 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: I have this crazy mind. I can push so crazy. 577 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 1: I give you an example. I wasn't badass karate cup 578 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: and I went my first time booking class and I 579 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: started immediately with an A class, which is a professional guy. 580 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 1: And my hand was karate. My media the load that 581 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: below your head right, you don't have up at you 582 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 1: have because there's no head punch is allowed in karate. 583 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: So he as soon as she started hitting my head, 584 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: of course I cannot bring my hand slowly up because 585 00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: the punches coming. I gotta go fat. So you overcommit. 586 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: While he knew right away if I overcommit, I'm exposing 587 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: my body and boom, he dropped me with the liver shop. 588 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: That's where my love for the liver shop give him. 589 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: So I got oh. I felt like a nightmare because 590 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: nobody ever did that to me. I didn't even know 591 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: what it was. And he explained it to me, and 592 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: my blah blah, I go home. I spent it. I 593 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: tell this to people all the time. I said, I 594 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: spent at least three and a half four hours in 595 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: front of a mirror, shadow boxing with my hands at 596 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: my jaw, looking at my hands that they will never 597 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: drop again. The next day, I went back to the 598 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: the gym and I clean eighty percent ninety percent of 599 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: the gym up. And they thought that I actually played 600 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: the trick on them, that I already knew how to bucks, 601 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: but that acting. And I said, no, I spent four 602 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: hours in front of a mirror. Lest people go, like 603 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: four hours life at all, try strife steen minutes and 604 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: then think what three and a half hours is? You know? 605 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: So I'm really obsessed. I need to fix it now 606 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: that it will be fixed now, not tomorrow, right away. 607 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: And then there's a great you know, the line is 608 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: for sports psychology. Again, It's not that practice makes perfect 609 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: it's perfect practice makes perfect, right, yeah, you know, and 610 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: there's so many people out there and they're making it 611 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: too hard and they're they're using all the fancy equipment. 612 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 1: I say it all the time. I started doing push 613 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 1: ups because herschel Walker did three hundred you know, push 614 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: ups and crunches every day, and so that's what I did, 615 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: and I got really good results from that, right because 616 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: I was consistent. So I just love that. You know, 617 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: you talk about you even talk about how you do 618 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 1: one minute you know on, one minute off, and then 619 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 1: the next week you had five seconds to the on 620 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: and take five off the rest, and then the next 621 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: week you had five seconds. So it's progressive, slow and progressive. 622 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: That's the trick because I don't want you over train. 623 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: And you know with that the perfect practice makes it perfect. 624 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: But I always did. But I was when I was 625 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: starting to fight. Every two weeks or so, I would 626 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 1: feel myself hitting a bag because always in my mind 627 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: I would think that I rotate really well, you know, 628 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: like the also things that your technical things that you 629 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: think you do well. But guess what, once you see 630 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: yourself doing it, it's okay, but it's not even close 631 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: to what you think it was so every two weeks. 632 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: If you do that, you can make the changes because 633 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: it's like you said, perfect tactic space. But if you 634 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: if I grind something in a combination for a hundred 635 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: and fifty two other times and then I realized I 636 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: did it wrong, and it's very hard to learn it, 637 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 1: so to say, you know to to to fix that problem. 638 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: So that's why I film yourself once a while, so 639 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: you know if you're actually doing what you think you're doing. 640 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: It's like dancing. I don't want to film myself because 641 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: I think I'm good and I don't want to start 642 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: expose myself. But you probably get it more than anyone else. 643 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: You know, the the questions about training, and you know 644 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 1: they're waiting for that you know secret quote. I hate, 645 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: I hate that term. There are the hacks, right, what's 646 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: the hack? What's the secret? And the secret is you know, 647 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: starting and progressing and you know, as you said to 648 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: you don't start with a minute on. Most people go, 649 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: why could do ninety seconds hard? And I say, actually, 650 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: you probably can't. When people tell me about that they're 651 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: doing hit workouts every day, I go, then you're not 652 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: doing them right right because they should be so brutal 653 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: that you need to rest that for the most part, right, 654 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: So start slowly and build up. But but you know, 655 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 1: we're flipping five pound towers tires right away, or we're 656 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: doing five second apps, right, We're not doing the grunt 657 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: work anymore. I had a quote for me on Forbes 658 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: and it's said Boston just said the best life heck 659 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 1: of all is just with the work, and I never 660 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: give up. That's it. And then I got it really 661 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: is too, you know. But then you know with you 662 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,200 Speaker 1: at all, other professional at least and with me, when 663 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 1: I say go I go hunt, said, I'll go Hunt 664 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: to present. If I say somebody else a hundred percent, 665 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: I seem going seventy. There's a difference in what we've projected, 666 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: what we think is dent. If you do like I 667 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: do the minutes on the bank, but I said that 668 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: one minute an increasing five six. But if you do 669 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: with the power at the speed I do it with, 670 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: you can be the best positioned athlete. Your mouth will 671 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: open after one minute, right, because they all go like, oh, 672 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm a nose breatherer, you know, Like I made the 673 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 1: training like a long trading device. Don't need three minute today, right, 674 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: and people go, yeah, but I breathed over nose. I 675 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: gonna do it. Oh so you're one of those guys 676 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: who goes to the gym and then you take the 677 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: weights with you on the street, right and he goes 678 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: of course, So that's exactly this. You just make it 679 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: strong for three and a half minutes. Don't worry. You're 680 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: not gonna forget how to breathe through you know. Yeah, 681 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: the bodies are really smart machine. It will figure it out, right. 682 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: You don't have to you don't have to consciously think 683 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: about that. I love that. Yeah, and you know, so 684 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: what's what's in the You've You've done so many products 685 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: now and by the way, I love you're acting. Did 686 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,960 Speaker 1: you studiers at all? Just self taught? It was self still. 687 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: But you know, when I came to America, I within 688 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: three weeks that I lived there. That was in the 689 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: ninety seven, I start taking question at the Beverly Hills 690 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 1: Playhouse because I knew that eventually after fighting, this was 691 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 1: something I would like to do. And uh so no 692 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: going on stage and oh man, I mean remember my 693 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: first fights and then I remember the first time for stage. 694 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,719 Speaker 1: Oh it's crazy how the hardware goes out right suddenly 695 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: in front of people. So it's so important to do 696 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: that to get used to it. Like in fighting. You know, 697 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 1: it's really easy fighting in the training, but to do 698 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 1: it under pressure with no rules for mistakes, that's a 699 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: whole different ball game. That is where you really separate 700 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: the fighters, you know that. I always talk about those 701 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: fighters who in the gym they beat world champions, current 702 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: world champions. Well once everybody thinks he's gonna be the 703 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: next champion, but somehow he cannot overcome the anxiety, you know, 704 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: and it doesn't come out during the fight. There's too 705 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 1: much pressure. So yeah, under pressure is everything. The best 706 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: the best line I do. And I use it because 707 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 1: a friend of mine, a mere Parts. He's like a 708 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 1: really freaking hardcore self defense instructor, like a crazy guy. 709 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 1: To google him, it's like what that and he all 710 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 1: he said that the seven are the best. He said, Okay, 711 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 1: if I have a plank with a one foot white 712 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: and it's twenty feet long, and I put it here 713 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: on the grass and I asked you to walk over 714 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: to make a pireaut in the middle, it's easy. Everybody 715 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: could do it. Okay, we take the same plan. We 716 00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: put it in between two buildings. That's stories up. Now 717 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: do the same thing. And that's what I tell people. 718 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 1: That is now there's no room for mistakes. That's it 719 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: fighting as well. And what's like overthinking things like if 720 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: I give a right hand, that means my right side 721 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: of my body is exposed. He can keep me there 722 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: and can hit me the You know when you start 723 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: overthinking like that, yeah, you're breaking yourself down and there's 724 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 1: no way you get competed anymore. I Yeah, it's so 725 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 1: much about the brain. And I've I've said that when 726 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: I started studying and I looked at elite athletes and 727 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: you realize that for the most part, most of them, 728 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, different in your sport, but you know, runners, cyclists, whatever, 729 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: they're mostly the same athletically. But it's who wants it more, 730 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: Who who's willing to push more? Who wants it that 731 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: day right? Who has their mental game together? As you're saying, 732 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,400 Speaker 1: that is so much, and people don't give it enough attention, 733 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: No preserves, No, nobody does it. But but or they 734 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,440 Speaker 1: think what without what is what I told you what 735 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,520 Speaker 1: that is? I have a workout here that we do. 736 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 1: It's it's an audio workout. I career a long time ago, 737 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 1: and anyway, this five rounds or three minutes. It's with 738 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,480 Speaker 1: sprawls and punch combination. It's really hard, and the minute 739 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 1: breaks because for us we want to do it every day. 740 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: I go, hey, let's let's use the minute break with 741 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,880 Speaker 1: push ups. Let's catch our breath while we're doing push 742 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 1: ups or kettlebell streach. So now suddenly it became a 743 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: twenty minute warm up NonStop. And we would have professional 744 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: fighters commit to train with us who could not do 745 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: the warm up. And then I go, what is your fight? 746 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 1: He says do it half ways? And say don't fight. 747 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: He goes, what you mean? I said, there was the 748 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: warm up. We didn't even start it. This was not 749 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,040 Speaker 1: we just taught ourselves. We just did it and dealt 750 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: with it. And suddenly it becomes normal. Everybody can do that. 751 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 1: It was not only me doing it. All my students 752 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 1: were doing it. You see, the human body, man, it 753 00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: can do so much more than we think it can. 754 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: Just push it, push you to the core all the time. Suffering. 755 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 1: That is the best thing that you said. Already everything 756 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: comes good from suffering. You don't suffer for it, you 757 00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: don't want it. You don't enjoy it, you don't do it. 758 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: If you get something for free that you have to use, 759 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: you don't do it. If you pay for it, Now 760 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 1: you respect and then you you say things like that 761 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: as all that's all to do with your bright and 762 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: with how you are wired. Yeah, there's so much. There's 763 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: so much we get out of suffering. I love that, 764 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 1: And we'll wrap it up with this is like, you know, 765 00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: my my best races weren't my best memories. You know. 766 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: It's the race in Malaysia when I had a complete 767 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: meltdown and it took me, you know, twice as long 768 00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,840 Speaker 1: and I was hallucinating and seeing monk. That was the 769 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,480 Speaker 1: one I remember fondly. As twisted as that is, right, 770 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 1: because you come out of that a different person. And 771 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 1: every time you do that, every time you go outside 772 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: your comfort zone. Everyone talks about it Boston, It's all 773 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: over Instagram, but so few actually do it. I say, 774 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 1: the answers are simple, right, it's the application that's that's 775 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: challenging for people. But you just have to start and 776 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: you have to be willing to do everything we just 777 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: talked about, right, and there is no failure exactly. That's it. 778 00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,520 Speaker 1: If you commit. That's with me. It's black and white everything. 779 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 1: If I say yes, I didn't say maybe, I said yes. 780 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: Once I say yes, it's yes. That's it that commits. 781 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: And so will be Will you be there on time? 782 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: I will always be. Actually I'll be fifteen minutes early always, 783 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: or fine at least because that I will never be 784 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,759 Speaker 1: too late. You know, it's just how you wire. It's 785 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,800 Speaker 1: just about building good habits. And once you have a 786 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,239 Speaker 1: good habit, keep the habits. You know, Like I used 787 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: the example of using my current signal. I know it 788 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,879 Speaker 1: was in the middle of the night, critical moment, there's 789 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 1: nobody behind me, nobody in front of me. I still 790 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 1: do it. I simply don't break the habit. It's very simple. 791 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: And once you keep doing that, you can do this 792 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: with everything, right, And it's it's just over time. In psychology, 793 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's situational confidence. And you know, I say, 794 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: there's no small victories, right, they all they're not small. 795 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: They all build upon themselves. Right. I see so many 796 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: people ask me about confidence, How do I get confident? Well, 797 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: you get those small victories, and then you get a 798 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: little more confident, a little more confident, right, and you 799 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,400 Speaker 1: you fail quote unquote, and then you come back, and 800 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: that's where people get confidence. But you have to put 801 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: yourself out there right and take the risks. You know, 802 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:45,720 Speaker 1: I did. This is what I was a kid. I remember, 803 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: I was I was probably I was a thirteen years old. 804 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: I remember went by to school and I went through 805 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:52,880 Speaker 1: a curve and it was a little scent on the 806 00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: road and I felt and everybody, you know what, you know? 807 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: What do you do? So right away? And I you see, 808 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,800 Speaker 1: nobody thought me this. I got to buy by the 809 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,960 Speaker 1: back and a shame speed I went through the curve again, 810 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 1: and my buddy, why would you do that? I said, 811 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 1: because otherwise I'm good. If I overthink this, I never 812 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: want to do it again. If I do it now, 813 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:11,840 Speaker 1: right now. And I think it comes from swimming. I 814 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: used to dive, and I like the somersaults and all 815 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: the kinds of stuff.

Well for me, 831 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: it's also I really enjoy it acting. So I got 832 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: a few things lighted up, like that, I invented the 833 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,800 Speaker 1: long training device that I actually invented when I was 834 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: fourteen years old and right now is doing crazy things. 835 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 1: I mean it takes asked my way cp D. I mean, people, athletes, 836 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 1: everybody is freaking out on it. So it's it's really cool. 837 00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: I've been doing it. It takes literally three to half 838 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: minutes to day. That's the only thing you need to do. 839 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: Some breathing exercises which I post every single day for 840 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: the last two years. I give you an example that 841 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,279 Speaker 1: you so you breathe in with resistance, right, that's what 842 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: you're doing. So I used the setting in two thousand 843 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 1: eighteen and May two eighteen, I was setting a level, 844 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: setting a level, and I just leave it like that 845 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: because otherwise it becomes too complicated. Anyway, it took me 846 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,040 Speaker 1: three minutes and forty five seconds to do my thirty repetitions. 847 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 1: I had to do thirty in hills with that with 848 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,000 Speaker 1: a trainer would take me three minutes of forty five seconds. 849 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,200 Speaker 1: About four weeks ago, just for fun, I grabbed that 850 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,640 Speaker 1: same setting and I said, let's see how fast I 851 00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 1: can do it now. I did it at fifty five seconds, 852 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,359 Speaker 1: so I did three forty five. I went to fifty five. 853 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: That's in seventy five increase, which people get checked out 854 00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 1: by Facebook page because I love everything, so you can 855 00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 1: see two years ago, oh that's how we started, because 856 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: you know, so they can see I don't lie. And 857 00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 1: that suddenly made people realize, wait a minute, that is 858 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: not ten percent increase is bizarre. So yeah, I love that, 859 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,280 Speaker 1: and so that's where our focus is right now because 860 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: it's my my baby, so to say, and it's helping 861 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,279 Speaker 1: a lot of people with anxiety of PTSD even now, 862 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: it's so incredible and Focal is a new company you're 863 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,759 Speaker 1: working with. Yes, I love that stuff, you know, because 864 00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of these skills for inst day of 865 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: a night and a day. Uh, I'm the guy and 866 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,120 Speaker 1: you're probably on the same. I need something to go 867 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: to sleep because my mind will not do enough. I'm 868 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: completely all the time, on on on and and I 869 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: used to take things for that to go to sleep, right, 870 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,239 Speaker 1: but and also during the day to stay awake. And 871 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: now what Focal did they put all these ingredients like, 872 00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 1: for instance, healthy end And I used always think there's 873 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: a bill they have this in one pill, Lion's main 874 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 1: vitamin B six and the thing you need, all that 875 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: kind of stuff that's good for your memory. And then 876 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 1: what they do they add a CBD to it so 877 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,640 Speaker 1: that will absorbs a better into your system and it 878 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: works all way better.

So he talks about he 978 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:18,760 Speaker 1: did pull ups, he did push ups, bench press, high poles. 979 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,919 Speaker 1: It wasn't about vanity for him. Uh. He did high 980 00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 1: REPSI reps for him. But again your goals most likely 981 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: a little different, but the point is there. He would 982 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,600 Speaker 1: do basically fifty seconds per exercise with a minute rest, 983 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: and he would do abs and squats in between. Where 984 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:41,240 Speaker 1: have you heard that before? So circuit training now again 985 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:45,160 Speaker 1: he's preparing to to fight and to do uh you know, 986 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:50,320 Speaker 1: grappling and different things like that. But conditioning rules still apply. 987 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 1: And as I said, he was so far ahead of 988 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 1: the game as far as conditioning. He doesn't give himself 989 00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,800 Speaker 1: enough credit, but his resume speaks volumes. That's the results. 990 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,160 Speaker 1: The results speak for themselves. So one of his formats 991 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: he talks about is twelve exercises, where he would do 992 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:11,320 Speaker 1: one minute on, one minute off, with a one minute 993 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 1: break in between, and you do that three times through, 994 00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: So basically about a thirty eight minute workout. I actually 995 00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:19,720 Speaker 1: don't need to break in between because you're getting it anyway. 996 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,640 Speaker 1: So twelve exercises, one minute break after each exercise, you 997 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,879 Speaker 1: do that three times through. And I have a quote 998 00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 1: here I pulled. He says people train too hard or 999 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,920 Speaker 1: too long, so it's quality over quantity, it's excessive moderation. 1000 00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 1: And here's from a guy who literally had to fight 1001 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:43,760 Speaker 1: for his life, and the same principles apply quality over quantity, 1002 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 1: consistency building up slowly. You know when you hear him 1003 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 1: talk about not doing ninety seconds out of the gate, like, 1004 00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,440 Speaker 1: what do you mean ninety seconds? But all out. So 1005 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: on your hard days, go hard, and on your easy days, 1006 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,919 Speaker 1: go easy. And when you're doing your hard interval, that's hard. 1007 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 1: And when you're resting, you rest, and you can have 1008 00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:07,280 Speaker 1: your gray zone days, not hard, not easy, longer duration 1009 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 1: recovery slash endurance workouts. But when you want quality over quantity, 1010 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:14,919 Speaker 1: and as he said, a lot of people think they're 1011 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: going sev I'm sorry, and they're doing seventy. And like 1012 00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:25,000 Speaker 1: I talked about all the time, endurance works, your workouts 1013 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: should be those easy workouts. If you're truly doing the 1014 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: hard workouts, you need the recovery and most professional athletes 1015 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 1: will do one, if not to recovery workouts. After a 1016 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,080 Speaker 1: super hard one, a runner will go to the track 1017 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,480 Speaker 1: do their interval sprints. The next morning, they'll do a 1018 00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 1: couple of miles whatever, recovery easy run, and then in 1019 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,360 Speaker 1: the afternoon they'll do it again. But the basics and 1020 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: the mental side, I feel so fortunate that that he 1021 00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 1: just was all over that, and he was doing the 1022 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 1: sports psychology stuff without even knowing it. But we knew 1023 00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: that when you study sports psychology, you you you you 1024 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,279 Speaker 1: talk about how back in the day, especially before it 1025 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 1: was even talked about, the athletes were doing this. They 1026 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,960 Speaker 1: just didn't know. It wasn't talked about, didn't have a 1027 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: name for it. He was doing visualization, being on the beach, 1028 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,320 Speaker 1: going to his safe place, as he talked about it. 1029 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,560 Speaker 1: When things got crazy, he wrote the RS on his 1030 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,320 Speaker 1: hand to remind him to relax. When things got crazy, 1031 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:25,040 Speaker 1: he had the self talk to motivate himself when things 1032 00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 1: got stressful, stresses his choice.
