8-SECOND KNOCKOUT!

8-SECOND KNOCKOUT — 7 YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS A BAD MAN 😂 We are what we repeatedly do. Quick story about this fight: I was actually meant to fight someone else, but he ended up pulling out. I watched a video of the original guy fighting and noticed something. He kept knocking people out by coming forward and being aggressive, but his hands kept dropping really low. So I thought, I’m going to practise a fake left hook into a right high kick. The idea was to make him move to his right, and then the right kick would land. So I drilled it over and over and over again. Then when the fight happened, just after the quickest exchange, I went for it without thinking. And it landed clean. The funny thing is, while it shocked everyone else, I was just as shocked. Looking back at the footage, I can see how clean it was. The shin went straight in, it was quick and, in a way, it was perfect. But that’s the thing about repetition. When you practise something enough, eventually you don’t have to consciously think about it. It becomes automatic. And I think that’s true far beyond fighting. “We are what we repeatedly do.” So be careful what you’re practising every day, because eventually you’ll get very good at it. #muaythai #knockout #martialarts #training #mindset
