To receive a fighter's body A lifetime of hard work, that’s what you are looking at. How seriously you take your training will develop your fighter’s body. Take care of it or fail to take care of it and it will show in your performance.
You will learn fighting lessons You will enroll in the full time, informal school of hard knocks. Each day you will be presented with opportunities to learn what you need to know to fight. The lessons you are presented with are often completely different from those you think you need to know.
There are no mistakes in fighting, only lessons Growth is a process of trial, error and experience. You can learn as much from failure as you can from success, sometimes more. Your skill cannot stay the same, you move only forward or backward.
A fighting lesson is repeated until it is learned Lessons are presented to you in various forms until you have learned them. When you have learned a lesson it changes your attitude and ultimately your actions. Once your change is complete, you can go to the next lesson.
Learning fighting lessons does not end There is no stage of experience that does not contain lessons. As long as you fight there will be more to learn. Better to think ahead than to assume your work is done.
This is not better than That When you believe that someone has accomplished something better than you, remember what you have accomplished too. Derive something from your own effort and you will appreciate the efforts of others. Technique is only a tool, you are the artist, so create something individual.
What you make of your fighting is up to you You have all the resources you need. What you create with those resources is up to you. Remember that through desire, goal setting and undaunted effort that you can achieve anything you want. Attitude and persistence are the keys to being a successful fighter.
