I’m a goat baaaa (Muay Thai Mastery/spartan)

[Yazooneh]

MAASTERY

(continuation of above post)

I’ve developed greatly in my manifestation practices, I’ve begun to show increasing levels of intellect in the way i do my daily scripting (which ive been doing for 5 months)

I go straight for the jugular, formerly for instance id write
“Im the best fighter in the world, i love it”

and now i write the above, followed by
“I always do what it takes to win, I always push myself harder than others, I love doing things others dont want to do, including myself, and i do it like i love it because during the hard moments im filled with euphoria amidst the pain, knowing my great destiny”

I always am more relaxed than my opponent, and calmer, and more confident.

I do what needs to be done, whether i like it or not, and i do it with a smile on my face

I use every single aspect of the current environment to flow and help me continue to improve at colossal speeds

while other fighters care about age, age only makes me stronger, better, faster, and smarter at fighting.

I am willing to take more risks, do more, be more unconventional, than my opponents, no matter who they are.

I always rise up to the challenge, becoming crazier to fit my elevated roles and succeed with flying colors.

i always fight better than i do when sparring (since many fighters like to claim they dont perform the same in the ring)

I always push myself through fatigue in training because i know I am benefitting light years while my competition rests.

I am willing to die in the ring

I love fighting, i enjoy every single fight, I enjoy every single ounce of struggle in training, i enjoy the weigh ins, I enjoy the walkout, and I love it when i get another win once again

etc etc etc, basically funneling all my life knowledge and new wisdoms (reading books) into my manifestations, going for the jugular.

whats happened lately with such vigorous belief and scripting is im realizing how DOABLE it actually is

fighters today try to maintain being champion while

• Having a social media presence
• seminars
• looking good for their coaches and fans
• staying away from “dirty” and “dishonorable” tactics (oblique kicks etc)
• sticking to what has been drilled into their head for years while fighting (try teaching the thais in ONE fc how to spin kick, its going to drown in the years of programming that some thai statue taught them

and much much more

theres so much happening underneath the surface of the game and i am the one to study it so thoroughly that people outside this forum believe i am literally a prophet sent to change the fight world

I’m just someone who really wants to fight and win…

i have no limits, and i believe in myself, im willing to bet all my money on myself

[Yazooneh]

@SaintSovereign thank you for helping make my dreams a reality, nothing is random, and these subs are a glitch in the matrix but you already know this!

thank you so much, for dedicating your life to the simple task of letting humanity know that their dreams are actually their future. After 3 years here, i see it now.

[Yazooneh]

I just listened to my genesis 15 minute loop 6 hours ago and just finished my weekly ascension chamber loop. My custom 15 minute loop was about 4-5 days ago if not more.

I am coming to some good realizations about life and energy, reading some threads about flow from @Invictus . I made it a key to always believe i have the thing i want, I see how down you can get dragged when you think of this life you feel destined to have and then go “damn i need to start doing x y z”

well, why not just instantly feel like you have it? When i read @SaintSovereign talk about energy cultivation practices helping with flow state, i thought “Damn, another obstacle in my way, I MUST GET INTO THE ENERGY CULTIVATION thing” but i began to apply my new way of thinking (which isnt new, i know this but their words reinforced it) and i said “I love that im so ahead of the game in the energy cultivation thing, i love it, thank god i got into it and am reaping it’s benefits” and instantly i felt my energy change, I went on youtube and did 10 minutes of a 30 minute follow along energy cultivation qi gong video for the first time ever. i actually do believe that belief is everything, because i could have said that I was a complete noob in the knowledge of energy cultivation.

but

I can also believe Im good at it, whats stopping that from being a possibility? we all have energy, and some of us might be cultivating it low key without labelling as that. When i decide not to wank, and instead to use that sexual drive to enter a visualization session, am i not cultivating? When we are faced with something annoying and irritating and we decide to not react, are we not cultivating? there’s always going to be proof for either side whether you say I AM or I AM NOT, might as well always be on the winning team.

Me quitting weed was the best thing ever, i feel that alone was the very very very last thing i had to do before I can consider myself “made” regardless if that “made” status is in my reality yet.

Energy is everything, as people who run subs, we need energy. Doesnt matter how dense our stack is, whether we focus one program or run 4-5 cores, our energy is what dictates how much we milk from those programs or program, time is of the essence and the energy in that time matters.

I have realized that I have been using weed to escape the world, i thought it was a cute little habit but seeing how much i hanker for it has shown me how much I have allowed the demotion of myself in life, and now as I promote myself back to where i belong, i am sensing MORE CONSCIOUSNESS

MORE ENERGY

MORE POWER

and that more is scaring me, because i am not used to it, the voice in the back of my head tries to get me to go reduce my consciousness and be high, what is it about this extra consciousness that scares me? it’s the increased power, the increased awareness, the increased accountability.

What’s sad is that I want those things, and those things actually improve my life, it is through a series of gaslighting and delusion by the ego that I’m told otherwise, that I’m told power is powerlessness, and the powerlessness of drugs is somehow safer, its not.

I feel safer being more awake, I have, since quitting weed, felt this increased sense of “youre actually built different”

it helps all the reading of the 50th law which I am about to finish for the 4th time today, knowing how to avoid the fear traps of this world and to be bold, embrace challenge, be unique, be unconventional.

But I finally TRULY feel it because, everyone around me is on some sort of escape, living from escape to escape, the times between are this sea of boredom, meanwhile, I feel my mind is sharper than it’s ever been, my eye is real

I no longer fall for the surface glossing of things, I love staring into reality, i love seeing into things.

For instance, I found out i really don’t like women that much. I’m not gay either. i know that I want the flesh and that wanting of the flesh from such a young age has made me desperate enough to follow the rabbit hole where suddenly, i’ve convinced myself women are beautiful angels from god, all in an attempt to act that way around them, and perhaps get laid.

But they’re not, they’re basically just like men, they have demeanors, agendas, and they too are prone to self delusion and manipulation and they too can hurt me or harm me like men.

This has given me a freedom unlike anything ive felt before, I finally feel like a man, independent, and strong, i dont need drugs, i dont need to the touch of a woman, I just need to fulfill my destiny and do the grand things i know i must do, for myself.

I feel like i cant bullshit myself anymore, and doing so is wrong, trying to put on a certain face or force a belief set on myself in order to get the things i want or fit the status quo

no longer. I am happy with myself, I can be homeless and i know i’d survive, if anything, I’d thrive, because god is with me.

this increased energy from quitting weed has been the tipping point for me into my new mindset, life is very very very URGENT, it’s not about “enjoying it” as much as it is about “enjoying your destiny” but I know that most people are unhappy, I see it, I even see it here on these forums! because we dont move urgently towards our destiny, we believe life will just go on, and on, and on

we believe we can compensate for not moving towards our destiny by being overly “nice” and agreeable or by fitting in. The world today wants you to be a zen hippie constantly preaching love, the world of my parents wanted you to be a stoic statue, wheres the space for YOU? this unique chemical concoction? who is going to grab your destiny, if not you? URGENTLY, ready to die for it, ready to take risks…

In the end, nobody needs your niceness, even with all the niceness in the world you will still sleep feeling a void in your soul because you’re not AT YOUR DESTINY yet. and then, we live in the world we live in now

everyone’s nice, nobody wants to hurt others

everyone is also unhappy, always looking for something outside themselves.

NOT THIS GUY!!!

I know where i am, i know what I need to do, i know how i AM, i know my destiny, and it’s HERE, even if i don’t have the physical proof to show it, I am where i need to be and with that, I dont need nobody’s pity, nobody’s fake kind words , nothing! The whole world can spit and stomp on me and i’d still smile, I have the master key HAHAHAHHAA

I am so grateful for my uniqueness, and i’m grateful that yesterday’s fight on the genesis thread just showed me that all the times I’ve felt others were “assholes” here on the forum was just a weakness from ME! i accept people the way they are, I don’t fear them, I use the tides of life and let it flow in my direction rather than constantly trying to make people fit into my little perceived way of how things “should” be

thats bullshit, even karma is a concept used to hold us down, by people that really want it to be true just so that guy in 6th grade who spit in their face can somehow end up homeless, funnily enough, thats the only way karma actually works, when youre sitting there wishing it’s true so your enemies can suffer.

and how does it work? youre sitting there wishing your enemies suffer, hoping and praying they are sitting there and thinking long and hard about their “transgressions” while doing NOTHING towards your purpose, in those times you’re there contemplating these things, drop the whole concept of karma, things come and things go, you’re not meant to profess your “goodness” youre meant to fulfill a task, and you have to be brave enough to BE BAD WHEN YOU GOTTA BE BAD!

or else, you’re not worth a damn, you’re a fearful little person, stuck in an unconscious cycle of standing in your own way, let all the people who ‘wronged’ you or others get away, its their life!

I am where i need to be, I have everything I need to have, I have the mind to take all the opportunities that come my way, to decipher when i should do something and when I should do something else, and the courage to understand the viciousness of humanity and no be so absorbed into the “good vs bad” politics. I have love for myself, forever, no matter what, I am on my side regardless of how “bad” I am supposed to feel due to the pressure of the fearful crowd.

Call me an asshole all you want, but im the one holding the reality I’ve always wanted to live, i’m the one who can accept others the way they are, and im the one who has manifested the life i’ve dreamt of since i was a kid.

[Yazooneh]

Alright I definitely feel that Genesis loop and I’d like to ascend. I’ve been writing for at least an hour every day in my manifest journal and I’m going to add on to it daily morning meditation and before sleep meditation (visualization$)

On top of this I’d love to journal before I sleep to release my thoughts

I feel good, a lot of jittery thinking as usual but I’ve decided to do something about it finally, I’d love to harness all that energy in being confused to think deeply of the life I want with gratitude

Had a cool debate with my partner and it felt so good since I have a safe space to get passionate with them, and they okay devil’s advocate because they’re just that smart that they can entertain such talks

I spend a lot of time talking to them I love it

Things are fantastic, I turn shit to sugar, and opportunities come at me all the time

I manifest everything I want instantly too it’s absurdly awesome

Good night

[Yazooneh]

Genesis is definitely the best anti procrastination/ determined urgency sub I’ve ever used, it’s giving me the entirety of what I hoped emperor black would give me such as quitting weed and investing every moment of my time into my dreams.

Energy cultivation, continued

For those of you lurking my journal, I’ve begun digging into the concept of energy cultivation as of a few days ago, the hunger that had been awakened in me with Genesis has led me to see that this sobriety I’m feeling and urgency is only the tip of the iceberg

Yin and Yang

As far as I see it now, we have finite energy, we pour that energy into something, whatever it is. When we develop a certain mastery over our internal state, being able to stop following the standard template of following your feelings day in day out, we see that we are in control of what comes into our reality based on where we pour our energy.

To me, it seems like a breathing in (energy cultivation) and breathing out (energy expenditure)

A balance between the two is the most efficient way to be, but there are other factors too, like awareness of how you’re using your energy and how well you summon it back in. It fascinates me now because Genesis has made me hyper aware of my state, I maximize my in and out process.

SHADOW BOXING, energy cultivation of the champs (@bombayduck) tagging you here to expose you to some concepts

After throwing myself into a few Qi gong energy cultivation exercises, I decided to use my inner mastery to explore some things in life. one of them is Shadow boxing, an underutilized exercise.

Lately I’ve been ripping on a lot of fighters in my area because I’m exposed to their two faces, their missing of serious training for long periods, showing up out of shape months before a fight, and just going hardcore then to accumulate ‘cardio’ (ignoring flow and technique, which is ten times better than cardio, as developing muscular fluency behind your movement and strikes can make you last infinitely longer than “conditioning” your heart before a fight as to make you more adept at suffering)

But despite this, I’m obsessed, when I miss a day I still feel like crap; make no mistake I’m not competing with those guys, I’m competing with a shadowy man who’s as hungry as me; who will one day remind me of the one day a year I missed. If I’m the best, I must have a no days off attitude.

Shadow boxing, fighter fluency

Fluency is a cool concept, when we speak a language a lot, we become fluent, we speak words without even thinking about what to say next, they flow and flow and we reach a point of fluency where we are expanding our vocabulary, or simply using the words we have in better conjunction, at the very very least, we might not even expand our vocabulary all that much, we might use the expanded fluency to maintain a verbal simplicity BUT use that fluency to divert our awareness to things other than our language; such as, ‘feeling’ more with others, expressing more with our body language, or even ‘digesting their words’ in a deep level instead of having to focus on whether our words even make sense or if they’re correct, and deciphering their language. This is fluency

On the other hand, if you stop speaking, you cannot fall back on your laurels, you begin to lose your fluency as your mind makes room for newer, more urgent matters (depending on what the commander… you… states is more important)

This is why my Arabic is not as fluent as it was when I was Syria, but my English is more fluent, since I’m in America

This is how I see shadow boxing. It is our fluency.

Do you know why most fighters do not like shadow boxing? Or shadow box slowly as a warmup as if the combat equivalent of speaking “I….like….pie”?

Because the average fighter lacks breadth of language to put together something proper, they cannot shadow box with all their heart as if it’s a real fight

When you shadow box, there is no bag to save you. You just show balance in your strikes, when you have no balance in your strikes, you feel clunky… your punches off balance you, your kicks do too since you find a lot of missing links in your kinetic chain, making kicking a very arduous and clunky task, you can’t even throw them slow and controlled since you lack the technique and balance to give them the slow rotation they need, your footwork is lacking so you look like a robot.

Shadow boxing is a place most fighters ignore, they skip the 101 and go straight to the bag. The bag is for rookies; and for masters who have done the other work and want to add a bit of ooooomph to the end of their hit.

I’ve hit a huge bloom, no, a huge ascension with my custom ( Mtmx spartan LoTs and Mind’s Eye) today as I realized that Submodel alpha is blooming too

I have been shadow boxing the entire day, in my head, I have been imagining fights all the day, and they’ve been realistic. It’s me, with my style, and my downsides along with my upsides against an opponent who has a good grasp of what he’s doing and isn’t blind to my flaws, and I’ve been doing this all day

I’ve been finding solace from my thoughts and emotions in escaping here, my last two sleeps have had the last few moments before I drift away dominated with this same movie of me flowing with my opponent

Simply put

This is my yin and Yang, in case I have nobody to help me train ( my gym membership has ended and before I move to a new gym, I will go to a regular YMCA and do basic bullet proofing exercises, mobility, and hard shadow boxing)

Back to topic . My yin is my visualization of my fighting (energy cultivation, breathing in)

My Yang is shadow boxing itself

And nothing else matters until people think I’m cheating in how good I’ve become, or that I have 200 fights in the past and I’m hiding it.

Here’s a video from a legend that swears by hard shadow boxing before I end this

The Art of Shadowboxing by Muay Thai Legend Yodkhupon Sittraipum (65 mins, trailer)

Don’t be a noob, showing up to smash bags and pads and wondering why your fights depend on random factors, get fluent day in day out my friends, every win is yours

[Yazooneh]

My amazing world dominating focus

A Scripting session

Many wonder what makes me so good, how i flow so smoothly, and how I fight so well every time. My focus is out of this world, no matter what is going on in the ring, I do not waver with my determination to win, I am in full faith of my preparation and my abilities. I move the way I need to move, I think deeply only in the moment, what can I attack, what will my opponent do next? and how do i strike back when I am struck.

My movement is superb, doing what I can with what I got, my distance, demeanor, and striking isn’t just used based on what i find comfortable, but based on what my opponent finds uncomfortable, little by little the voice in the back of their head begins to torment them with the fatigue they are enduring, meanwhile…I am bursting with purpose, regulating every inch of movement as to overwhelm my opponent, when I see in their eye their will begin to waver, I pounce even harder, tasting the win on the tip of my lips, using this moment to further train my focus as to continue my winning spree, might aswell milk this fight, right? I dont imagine the belts and the glory, i think only
train your focus, dont waver, eyes on the prize, the prize is this very moment.

thank you for this intense and immense and developed and godlike and absolutely dominating focus that has ascended me to the hall of legends.

love you

[Yazooneh]

I don’t say anything to impress others, or with the intent to impress others. I don’t try to impress others

everything i say and do comes from my true heart, and thus, everyone is impressed…

[Yazooneh]

for my next month working in the gym gym (non martial arts gym) i will focus on the things i feel i neglected, the things that will make my life infinitely easier. fortifying my tendons, bones, ligaments, knees, hips, lower back, shoulders, doing the intense mobility exercises and becoming “built different” to stop my soreness, foot exercises, and also intense shadow boxing sessions.

im going to do it daily, and im going to spend the mornings before i go planning my workout exactly, and rehearsing it mentally, and planning what i will be envisioning during each and every single workout

general rule: I do what i hate doing like i love it, i do whatever it takes to win whether i feel like it or not, the intense discomfort i feel during my workouts invigorate me with life

my rehearsal:

reason- to not sit there and think during the intense moments of my workout, I want to hone in on my focus

working on knees?: envision strong knees, envision myself sturdy, envision myself moving on a pair of godlike and untouchable knees ready to take a truck.

etc etc

shadow boxing?: envision my fights, a formidable opponent of a style i choose before my training

its vital that I rehearse this all before training, i dont want to fall into the trap of just showing up and then doing the motions, but thinking about my toaster during it, or other things, i want to work on my focus just like i work on everything else, I also want to work on my control of mind, since i’m not just there to rack up some endurance, i want to transcend everything ive ever known about working out, focus, mind muscle connection, etc

ive been on spartan for a long ass time, 9 months now, and i have a 6 month run of it in qv2, its time for big boy work <333

[Yazooneh]

Time to sleep, it was a great night shift, I write a lot here and on my personal journal with my hand, I’m seeing more and more signs of ascension in my life and I have reason to believe this night was the greatest shift forward I’ve ever had in my life, let alone with subs, can’t wait for tomorrow, going to shadow box in my brain as I drift away! Good night

[bombayduck]

I absolutely love this post, thank you for tagging me.

Shadow boxing is something I will need to explore much more deeply. I’ve always had difficulty throwing roundhouse kicks while shadow boxing, and I think everything you described points to the reasons why.

I feel inspired I must say, think I might just stop by the new muay thai gym tomorrow.

[Yazooneh]

Alright so today was the first day in a new gym, my membership ended in my Muay Thai gym and I’m glad to be a free agent

9 months on a row, very few days off, most of the time 3 hours a day (3 classes in a row)

I decided to join the YMCA and work on fixing all my weaknesses, let’s start this journal

Before I slept I went through the most overt act of passive aggression since I was a kid, I wanted to blow up internally but not only did I handle it with grace but I couldn’t help but think “this is a sign from god that you’re ascending greatly” I couldn’t help but also think “Yaz, this is the biggest result you’ve ever had, you’re entering zones you’ve never entered, the bloom of all blooms is around the corner” and I felt a strong euphoria overpower whatever bitterness I felt. It was great because I saw how much power I have, that people would hate me so much that they would do that, it filled me with joy, this isn’t the first time this happens from a work colleague but I can’t help but understand the game; this is a bloom indicator, things are going to change and I’m going to better places.

Anyway, I woke up wanting to be really bitter about it but I ignored it and focused instead of this session, this is what happened

Walk to the gym (30 minutes):

This flew by so quick, between brushing off the old me’s want to be bitter and me rejoicing in a new life and new doors opening, I made it there super quick it didn’t even feel like 30 minutes it felt more like ten.

Arrived: they not only told me they had to up my rate, but I also had to pay a re entrance fee and it was heaps of money. My first instinct was to worry about my monetary status but I took this as a grand sign that money is on the way to me. Yes me coughing up all that money was a sign I’m getting money. I got good belief and I understand how manifestation works by now, up and up, the new me is enlightened.

Foot workout (30 minutes) I began with some foot workout after shooting some hoops for like two minutes I realized I wasn’t about it, and my forearms are sore. I began doing the foot workout and I realized one thing above all others

Realization

The reason I’ve been skipping the unsexy work of doing my bulletproofing and mobility work in my Muay Thai gym is simple

It’s challenging as all hell!

And it’s challenging in a way that irritates greatly, there was one exercise called the short foot that literally made me wanna scream, I couldn’t do it, and the muscle required is so specific that it really takes intense focus, I couldn’t even move slightly in it, wow, I knew the work I had to do for the next month.

Knee exercises (10 minutes):

I began to work on the knees and this is where I realized the behemoth that was ahead of me, no wonder I skipped this all the time, it’s really boring and challenging. I wanted so badly to begin hitting the bag, I began to feel the exhaustion at this point since I never eat when I wake up or drink I just go to gym. But I did what I could

Hip, legs, mobility:

At this point I began to muster my focus and power and began to visualize the lofty goals I have, I embrace this discomfort and I began to do the leg mobility stuff, for context, I’m always sore, I want to become a different machine by the end of this month, mentally emotionally and physically so I embrace the grind, this part was very good, a girl was following me around but I didn’t care, my focus was godlike the whole time.

Bag work: I began to hit the bag and boy oh boy did I feel the pain, I was exhausted and tired, I should really have a structure and rounds to my routine, and I should have end of round burn where I blast out straight punches then kicks at the end of one round, hooks or uppercuts and knees at the end of another.

Shadow boxing: did this and felt the fatigue but I kept going, there were times I wanted to stop but I said to myself “that makes no sense, you wanna stop your footwork and walk instead, you should be as comfortable moving around this basketball court as you would walking it” and I realized that even just moving around is challenging, let alone throwing strikes too, we are engaging our brain, our coordination, our balance, our flow…. It’s exhausting

Overall it lasted 2.5 hours and I’d rate it a 6/10

I’m going to fix it by =

• spending more time on mobility and bulletproofing exercises, what stopped me today was impatience

• having a better structure, having an actual workout plan, today it was all improv with YouTube, tomorrow I’m going to have an entire plan set with videos for

Foot
Knee
Legs
Hips
Upper glutes and lower back
Abductors adductors
Upper thoracic
Shoulders
Neck

• rounds of shadow boxing and bags

The most thing I liked was my focus. I was able to really just keep drawing the picture of who I am instead of looking around me for whatever reason. My eyes were on the ultimate prize

Scripting for tomorrow

Every time I feel challenged I love it, it reminds me why I’m build so different from the rest, it brings within me a sense of life as I’m reminded of the awesome life and gifts I have; the fearlessness I have, the unrivaled status I have. Every second within discomfort is a second as my true self, the pain is actually joy in disguise, god is looking at me and bringing forth the reality that is right around the corner that much faster.
Thank you for this opportunity to test my mind and to feel so good under stress that destroys my opponents, thank you for this knowledge and application that makes me so unbeatable.

I love the simple and challenging mobility workouts and bulletproofing exercises so much; every second spent on them gives those body parts so much power and their own mind, programmed to destroy my enemies and my opponents in the ring, I always spend the exact time needed on each to milk it to the maximum effect on all fronts, from my courage, focus, patience, all the way down to the actual body part gaining life of its own, power, endurance etc

I love shadow boxing, every second I spend shadow boxing hones my ability to godlike and unprecedented levels as I spend hours becoming the most fluent and masterful fighter, making it look so easy, even saenchai would feel insecure seeing my flow and fluency I love the challenge of it and the focus required and I always imagine the perfect opponent as to challenge what needs to be challenged as to maximize my combat royalty gains.

My bag rounds are so great, I love how I flow with the bag and maximize my time there to the fullest, my power and positioning and understanding of techniques flourishing

I love how i spend my time in YMCA and how it prepared me in an irreversible way for my return to a fight gym in which I shall shock the world

I love my balance, I love fixing my game to the height of legends

[RVconsultant]

Many years ago a Chinese herbalist told me that when people are doing conditioning such as iron palm training and the like, to use certain oils, ointments, etc. are recommended to put on the areas so that problems (such as cancer in that area) don’t happen. Have you looked into such products?

[Yazooneh]

I haven’t. I’m using the standard rehab type exercises that target specific areas, they do wonders in their own

[RVconsultant]

Are you doing the “hit your shins with glass bottle” type of conditioning?

[Yazooneh]

Hahahaha no sir I’m doing your standard rehab type exercises that involve isolating very specific body parts and strengthening them. They’re extremely challenging as they usually make you do movements that you’re not used to. Opposite of compound movements, they work wonders

[Yazooneh]

So the second day of the gym today after a full loop of my terminus custom

I have definitely improved, my focus was superb, I was able to really begin enjoying the focus process, I think a lot of what’s conditioned in is is backwards, struggle is nice, and fulfilling, as long as you focus with it and harness it.

I’m going to work on honing my focus even harder, time to eat

[RVconsultant]

Perhaps I misunderstood when you talked about conditioning. When I hear people conditioning themselves for martial arts, they’ve described doing things to desensitize nerves, hardening their callouses, hitting their finger tips against hard wood or concrete, etc…

You’re talking about muscle conditioning for… strength and endurance?

[Yazooneh]

Trying to get into a good “condition” to fight, and train

So stretching, mobility, working on muscles that are falling behind in the overall kinetic link, working on neglected parts of the body through articulated movements

I used the term conditioning loosely, in Muay Thai fighters don’t generally do shin conditioning since kicking the bag is enough to condition your shins with time and volume

[Malkuth]

@Yazooneh

and now i write the above, followed by

That post got seriously bookmarked. And I’m copying it and pasting it.

That is powerful.

[Yazooneh]

Today was very interesting !!

So I woke up and I wanted to sit on my ass and just rest, I’ve spent the last two days at the gym working hard and it’s time for some rest and relaxation

No no no no no

Not this guy

I have a no days off attitude and that’s why I’m the best, I ain’t here to pat myself on the butt, and that’ll show on tv and in the ring when I crush my opponents who are strong, but not Yazooneh strong

I have a no days off mindset, that means that I am in it to win it, I bring my entire focus, energy, will, manifesting power, everything, day in day out

I walked over to the gym which is 30 minutes away and right before I arrived I began sobbing uncontrollably, the thought that even just walking back home is exhausting, I’m tired and I’m hungry and thirsty, and on top of this I have an entire workout to do, that isn’t easy either it’s going to take my focus

But it wasn’t bad, part of me felt a strong euphoria, this is what people mean when they say “feel the pain of discipline or the pain of regret” I’m surrounded by people who adore me and cherish and look up to me, people fear and respect me when they’re not willing to love me, and I am fulfilling a destiny just a year ago I thought wasn’t possible, I loved that feeling

I was special, I imagined myself being a champion and I walked into the gym, I really shined today in my focus and I can tell the universe tested me very hard, I was riddled with insecurities and troubles but I silenced them and I did my work! I wanted to rest or quit many times but I silenced that voice too

In only two days, my shadowboxing has become a thing of absolute legends

Oh

My

God

Being in a Muay Thai gym was injurious to my reason, because I knew that I had to do the conditioning, the mobility, to work on my neglected parts

A few days ago I was shadow boxing and I felt so clunky and weird. For a guy who constantly gets compliment for his kicks on the pads, it was a true glimpse to reality how bags and pads just compensate for our lack of balance

My technique has changed dramatically, my shadow boxing kicks feel and look amazing, no leaning back too much, no weirdness of overcompensation with one muscle

I also am reaping the fruit of my mobility and working on muscles I feel are tight or weak and are limiting my technique, I also added in a segment today where I began to strike in-front of the mirror to see my technique and I felt like my technique was nice and day improved from when I first began, doing infront of the mirror seems like a magical process

I also feel as if the true gains are past fatigue, boredom, and drudgery. They’re past distraction too. The moment I let go of that feeling of my muscles being sore and I allowed myself to let loose, my technique got a lot more fluid, through fatigue, the weaker and less used parts of the kinetic link in any technique is sharpened and thus, improvement is made.

Achilles heel has been in my life for nine months and I see how the old me hated seeing and finding flaws in my fight stance, Technique, mindset

As a man with 20 pro fights it is the delight of my heart now to find flaws, it means I will permanently upgrade once I tackle them

Overall, things are great, everything I ask for is coming true instantly, in spades, better than I even can expect, and my belief grows day after day, everything that seemed to be “against me” when I first ventured to capture this dream, now seems to be my great advantage now that I captured it
