Why do beginners gas out so quickly in martial arts? 🄊

It’s not always because they’re unfit.

Your body is working hard while your brain is simultaneously trying to process distance, movement, incoming shots, what you’re going to throw back and everything else happening around you.

So you tense up.

You hold your breath.

You waste energy.

And suddenly a couple of minutes feels like a lifetime. šŸ˜‚

Learning to stay relaxed and manage that pressure takes time and experience.

Eventually you learn when to tense, when to relax, when to explode and when to recover.

In my opinion, there’s no other sport that quite replicates the physical and mental pressure of combat sports at the same time.

And I think that’s exactly why so many of us become addicted to it.

You can’t replicate that feeling anywhere else. šŸ‘Š

If this looks like something you’d like to experience for yourself

Sometimes after a long day of coaching, you just want an easy session. šŸ˜‚

No one forgetting the combination.

No one throwing a completely different shot to the one you called.

No one trying to kill the pads when you said ā€œnice and lightā€.

No one asking ā€œwhat are we doing again?ā€ 4 seconds after you explained it.

Just me.

Feeding pads to nobody.
Holding the bag for nobody.
Watching absolutely nothing.

And for once…

Everything is going exactly as planned. 😌🄊

Sometimes the perfect client is no client at all. šŸ˜‚

If you could only learn 3 punches, which ones should they be? 🄊

For me, it’s simple.

The jab.
The cross.
The lead hook.

Three short, snappy and effective punches that each serve a different purpose.

They give you the foundations to manage distance, attack in straight lines and create different angles with your shots. šŸ‘Š

And the best part?

Put all three together and you’ve got one of the most fundamental combinations in striking.

You don’t need 100 different techniques.

You need a few that work, and you need to get very good at them. šŸ“ˆ

I’ve been slacking lately.

Training hasn’t been as consistent as it should be.

Content hasn’t been going out as regularly as it should either.

And I think it’s important to acknowledge that.

Even as a coach, sometimes life gets busy, motivation drops and you take your foot off the gas.

The important part is recognising when it’s happening and doing something about it. šŸ‘Š

You don’t need to wait for Monday.
You don’t need a new month.
You don’t need to suddenly feel motivated again.

Sometimes you just need to tell yourself…

Get back to fu***ng work. 🦾

So that’s exactly what I’m doing. šŸ“ˆ

The final minutes of a conditioning session. ā³

That’s when the fatigue sets in.
Your muscles start to ache.
And your body starts telling you it’s time to quit.

That’s when the mind has to take over. 🧠

Keep pushing.
Keep working.
Finish what you started. šŸ‘Š

Because if it was easy to achieve, it probably wouldn’t be worth achieving. 🦾

You might be asking yourself why, as a coach of my own gym, I’m training at a different gym under a different coach.

The answer is simple.

I don’t know everything.

I’d like to think I have an above average understanding of martial arts…

But there will always be more to learn.

Every coach has different experiences.

Different knowledge.

Different ways of explaining techniques.

If I stop learning, I stop improving.

And if I stop improving, so do the people I coach.

I believe it’s my responsibility to keep developing my own skills and knowledge so I can pass the best information possible on to my students.

More importantly, I think this applies to anything in life.

If you’re passionate about something…

Never stop being a student.

Learn from people with different experiences.

Take the best parts from everyone you meet.

Then keep building your own understanding.

That’s exactly why I still train.

To keep developing my skills.

To lead by example.

And to make sure the people who trust me to coach them are getting the very best version of me.

If this is the type of coaching you’re looking for, where learning never stops…

You don’t grow by avoiding challenges.

You grow by facing them.

Every difficult session.

Every mistake.

Every lesson.

It all adds up.

Keep turning up.

Keep putting the work in.

Keep chasing who you’re capable of becoming. šŸ‘Š

Fight Review 🄊

A day at the races…

A couple of drinks…

And somebody decides it’s a good idea to throw hands.

Unfortunately for him, he chose the head down, windmill approach.

As you’d expect, it didn’t end well.

One of the biggest mistakes people make in street fights is swinging wildly and charging forwards.

You lose your balance.

You lose your vision.

And you leave yourself wide open.

If you’re going to fight, there’s a right way and a wrong way.

Better yet… avoid it altogether.

One final thought…

Getting knocked out in public is bad enough…

But getting blood all over a beige suit?

That would upset me even more. šŸ˜‚

These reviews aren’t about encouraging violence. They’re about breaking down real situations so we can all learn from them. šŸ‘Š

Before anyone says anything…

Yes, the subtitles say spa instead of spar.

That’s on my editor, not me. šŸ˜‚

Now that’s out of the way…

Sparring isn’t about landing the hardest shots.

It isn’t about proving you’re the toughest person in the room.

It’s your chance to put everything you’ve been working on into practice.

Try that new combination.

Work on your footwork.

Improve your timing.

Test your reactions.

Every round should have a purpose.

The goal isn’t to beat your training partner.

The goal is for both of you to leave the round better than when you started. šŸ‘Š

Save the ā€œwinningā€ mentality for competition.

If this is the type of coaching you’re looking for, where every session has a purpose…

Don’t settle for what you’re capable of today.

Keep chasing what you’re capable of becoming.

Every session is another step towards being stronger…

More confident…

More disciplined…

Not just in the gym, but in everyday life.

That’s what we’re building at CR Combat. šŸ‘Š
