The art of Sparring

, 0

I have 2 guys sparring. One is turtled up in the corner and the other is throwing a 50 piece combination? I stopped them and asked what the point was (I used more colorful and explicit language than I am using now😊)? The reply from the bomb thrower was “I am working on my standup!” My reply was along the lines of “If you want to throw that many punches on an inanimate object – go hit the bag!”

OK, sometimes we have to push a person to break them out of their shell. If that is not what we are doing and you are just throwing mad punches against a person not fighting back; what is the point????? You can’t win sparring and beating people up to make yourself feel good about things is just a poor choice and horrible reflection of your character.

Sparring is where we test our skills and push each other to be better. This is not a solitary action. We have to find that balance where we are working, pushing, and making each other better – not beating our partner down for our own personal gain. Once you go down that road, your partners fall off, you don’t get the work, and you end up being the best guy in the room instead of the best guy in the sport.

Think about it – if all you do is try to win every round of sparring, you are limiting yourself to the narrow skillset you have relied upon to get you to where you are. Sparring is about perfecting what we know but more important – figuring out where we are going with our skills next. We are here to evolve our game, not maintain it.

In grappling, we stop at the point where someone is going to be broken or go to sleep. It is a checkmate position where we agree to stop or somebody is going to get hurt. Getting hurt at that point is a choice, not some involuntary action. If caught; tap, nap, or snap – simple.

If we take that mentality of checkmate to striking, we can chill and not lose brain cells taking the kill shot. When both guys are on a level to see the action and appreciate what could and could not happen, we can work together to not get killed and correct the problems. When only 1 guy sees it, we have to fire away for our own safety. You know that time you pulled your shot and your partner, having no clue that they have had their life spared, cracks you with a big stupid shot. Sometimes you have to pull it and fire to save your own rear end.

If you want to bang away, hit the bag. If you want to get better, spar – not fight. Go into it prepared to protect yourself, but more important – go into it looking to improve, not simply maintain. If you challenge your skills instead of trying to win, you will evolve and be more prepared to win when it matters most.

Lastly, don’t take this as an article designed to get everyone to lighten up. We at Killer B are known for going pretty hard. If you are trained to go hard, you can. Going hard to just go hard, without understanding what you are doing, simply leads to stitches.

Simplicity is the key

, 0

Let’s talk about a common trap we all fall into from time to time. That grand idea that ruins us. That major goal we give up on because of simple missteps. You know what I am talking about here. Around January 1st, you made a commitment to get up early, stop eating ice cream, train every day, etc… You got a few weeks into this new life and you missed a workout or ate too much, and now you are binge watching Netflix with a tub of ice cream and your goals have been officially given up on….

1st, 1 mistake is not failure!

2nd, maybe you need to simplify your goals?

Simplicity is the key to success. We need momentum to achieve big things. If we go from 0 to attempting world class level commitment, we are doomed to failure.

Whatever your big goal is, you need to take your 1st step. Take that step today. Set the goal to do it again tomorrow. Keep doing that until the daily act is a habit and no longer that hard to do. Then add a new step. In time you can take many steps and be much further without as much psychological torture you have consistently applied upon yourself for so long.

Forget about 100 more, right now. Do 1 more today than yesterday. Progress is progress. As long as we are moving forward, we are making progress. Let go of the one thing you slipped up on. Focus on the next step. Make that step better. Forward, always forward…

I have personally found that letting go of judgement has been my personal game changer. Being analytical has become the key to growth and happiness. I know what I am trying to achieve and every step, successful or not in that moment, is all data to figure out ultimately how to get where I want to be.

Simple steps without judgement will create the momentum and patterns you need to achieve those dreams. Stay the course and do as much right as you can. When you fall, you only fail if you quit. Keep going.

What is the #1 thing every person needs

0

What is the #1 thing every person needs to be their best, the best, world class…. TIME!

If you don’t put in the time, you won’t get results. It is that simple. How we spend the time we have matters, but time is the thing. You can’t give a little bit of time to many different things and get good at any of them. You have to invest your time deep into every aspect of what it is you do so you can master your craft.

If you follow us, you know Karl Roberson fights out of Killer B. The key to our success is the 10 years we have been doing this together. The time we have spent perfecting our process is what has taken a raw and talented man from walking in off the street to a full-time professional fighter – currently 7 fights into a UFC career coming out of Glory Kickboxing. The UFC is the #1 MMA organization in the world and Glory is the #1 Kickboxing organization in the world. From Neptune NJ, with no experience to fighting for the largest combat sports organizations in the world. This is what time can create.

Getting started is step one. Staying the course no matter what, is the key.

The process in many ways defines your goals. If you put in the time with people that are good at what it is you want to be, you have a good chance of creating a clear path towards an achievable goal.

Here is the message of the day. Listen to the things that have been running thru your head and are connected to your heart. Make the commitment and changes needed to have the time to pursue your goals. Start investing in your time!

You can make more money, but you will never get back the time you let go by. Don’t wake up to old, to broken, or too far behind to achieve the things you want in this life. It is much easier to live knowing you did what you could, than knowing you didn’t do enough.

Which 1 are you?

0

Are you the man in the arena?

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt

We can play it “safe” and never really do anything. Or we can step into the arena and do things that give us a chance to find personal satisfaction. Not simple or momentary happiness, but lifelong satisfaction. That deep personal satisfaction that can only come from stepping into the arena.

I am not asking you to be a gladiator or prize fighter. I am asking you to look at yourself and your level of commitment to the life you dream of. Are you in the arena fighting or are you sitting in the stands watching with the critics?

Make today the day you stop talking, you stand up, and step into the arena. It takes nothing to get started besides inspiration and a commitment to do what it takes.

That was a rough one

0

We all come up short. Nobody wins everything. In any given day we have multiple points where we don’t achieve what we wanted to. Some of these “failures” are small while others seem monumental. The only thing we can do is control our response.

I just got back from Las Vegas where Karl Roberson lost his fight at UFC Fight Night. I gave myself a few hours to feel bad for myself and him, then it was back to figuring things out. That is the best thing we can do when thins don’t work out as we planned. You reassess and move forward smarter – better for the experience. This is how we lose the battle but win the war of life.

What are you doing today to be better based on your results from yesterday? This is the daily question we need to answer. This is what we do as a community at Killer B. Facing these questions alone is hard. Having a group and leadership keeps us accountable and grounded in the process.

Don’t allow yourself to accept the feeling that all is lost. If you are still breathing, you are still in the fight.

We are almost out of Quarantine! The time to prepare for the next round is now.

Risk vs Reward

0

Risk vs reward. This is what its all about. What do you want so bad, you are willing to put something important on the line?

I am in Las Vegas with Karl Roberson for UFC Fight Night June 13th. He is coming off a bad weight cut that put his health in jeopardy. With a few weeks to recover, he went for it again! The risk was worth the reward. Tomorrow night, he is the co-main event of a UFC Fight Night. This is what fighters dream of.

No matter what adversity you have encountered, you have no excuses to go after the things you want in life. You will fail. That is a guarantee. You will also be better for it if you keep getting up and forging ahead smarter for it.

How many times has your attempts at training failed to last or work? What did you learn from it? Most likely, you figured out alone does not work and most people are selling you harder than they are teaching you.

Killer B Combat Sports Academy has been getting results at all levels of fitness and experience, since 1998. That is over 22 years of world class service. You can’t do anything for 2 years without being relentless and providing consistent value.

Come out of this time of adversity stronger than you went into it. Take a risk so you can get that reward!

What are you doing today

0

To achieve anything, you need strength. Not purely strength in terms of horsepower. You need strength of character, spirit, physical and mental endurance, and a host of other traits. Success is as much about your tenacity and self-belief, as it does skill or ability.

If you don’t feel strong, if you lack confidence, if you are afraid… you can make choices today that will work to take you from these states and put you on a new, more progressive path. When you believe in yourself and you are putting in the work, you have no choice but to make progress.

You can try to do this alone and you will most likely have a good start with a terrible ending. It is true. We all have some piece of gym equipment collecting dust in the garage, basement, or attic. That late night infomercial, or Facebook ad a mile long broke us down and got us to believe just long enough to spend those dollars…

So you don’t waste your money or time, join a community that has a proven history and methods to get you where you want to go. Find a team that has real leadership with experience achieving what you want to achieve.

Killer B Combat Sports Academy has been getting results since 1998. Using the arts of Kickboxing, Jiu Jitsu, and MMA plus the science of Strength & Conditioning, we have transformed countless lives. Besides being one of the top MMA teams, we are a diverse community of driven people looking to achieve great things.

Every person in our community started where you are. They found the courage to let go of the apprehension and took a chance. You can stay where you are, or you can take a chance. What do you have to lose? You have quite a bit. You don’t get time back.

We are planning on reopening July 6th! After 4 months of being shuttered in place, the Governor is on the verge of opening us up again! We can’t wait! It is time to get back together doing what we do and overcoming all these obstacles 2020 has tried to bury us under.

For those of you ready to become part of our community, I have a deal for you!

I have a question for you

0

Have you thrown in the towel? Meaning; have you given up? I really hope not. As long as you are breathing, you still can get somewhere you aspire to go.

For the last 4 months, we have not been able to go pretty much anywhere. We have been shuttered in place under scary and uncertain circumstances. What do we do next? I am actually more concerned with what do you do right now?

Lots of people have put on weight, let the hair grow, and binged watched their favorite shows, twice or more.

Some have cleaned up their eating, worked out at home, and took the time they had to figure themselves out a bit more deeply.

I am not judging you. I am simply asking you a question. What do you want? If you don’t know, you need to get to work on that. If you know, you need to get to work on that. Basically, you need to get to work no matter what your situation is.

If you want to take wherever you are to the next level, your best chance for success is taking on a challenge, doing it with a group, and making sure you have experienced leadership to provide what you need to succeed. This is what Killer B Combat Sports Academy is!

Yes, I am selling you. I am selling you a fire extinguisher during a fire, not gasoline. If you take me up on the offer below and show up to do the work, I guarantee you positive changes are ahead.

Do you need this as bad as me?

0

Do you know how bad I have needed a haircut? I am sure you are like me, in need of so many things we took for granted before COVID-19 came to town. It has been a hard road for all of us and tragic for way too many. BUT we are another day closer to getting to the next phase!

The end is in sight! We see the Governor making moves to re-open gyms very soon!

We are being optimistic and planning on a return to training July 6th. We will be putting out a revised schedule and guidelines for practice next week. We will have to make some necessary changes to give our community the safest opportunity to train under the current conditions we are all facing.

Killer B will offer a modified schedule to incorporate times and safe spacing for all of our core programs. We for sure will be practicing different, but at least we will be together practicing once again!
