@@dev6rehab666 well there are many kinds of cardio-performance types for sure Like Max Holloway has amazing standup cardio, Brian Ortega has amazing squeeze cardio, Khabib has amazing ground cardio with control. Definitely interested in how they integrate the different forms of cardio
@@rafly5443I guess, if you are someone that are explosive in the beginning more focus on pure strength? And if you are strong at the end, you need more endurance to be able to get there? And that would be reflected in the basic "non technique" training that all martial artist does? Or..?
Your muscles do one of the following (based mostly in DNA): A -- warm up quickly (good early, but you are burning more energy) B -- warm up slowly (bad early, but you are conserving energy) Your muscles also do one of the following: C -- get tired quickly (from lack of conditioning, but also due to DNA) D -- get tired slowly (from good conditioning, but also due to DNA) Rocket = BD (MISSING) = BC/BD Time Bomb = BC Half Pipe = AC (extremely poor DNA and conditioning) Ski Slope = AC/AD (hybrid of Half Pipe and Grinder) Grinder = AD (extremely good DNA and conditioning) The missing 6th slope looks like the left half of the Time Bomb; a curve that starts low, slowly plateauing out into a sustained strong performance that stops improving much about halfway through the fight. These curves do not directly translate into 6 distinct fighting styles; rather, they limit your options as to what fighting styles will work for you in a fight. The BD fighter can choose to fight like a BC or BC/BD fighter by pushing themselves hard once their body warms up. The BC fighter can choose to fight like a BC/BD or BD fighter by training for endurance and conserving energy rather than going all out as soon as their adrenaline kicks in. The AC fighter can stay calm and conserve energy to fight more like an AC/AD or AD fighter. The AD fighter can be very aggressive to fight more like an AC or AC/AD fighter. Mentally, it's about preference. A fighter who hates feeling fatigued will be either an AD or BD style fighter; they will prefer to conserve energy rather than do more offensively, all fight long. A fighter who hates being outfought in the moment will be either an AC or BC style fighter; they will burn extra energy to make sure they hold their own at all times. You can't do too much about whether you are an A or B fighter. If the fight is organized, you can warm up prior to actually fighting... but this wouldn't help you in a self defense scenario, and is only so effective since your adrenaline spike much higher under duress than from just exercise. The one thing you can do as a B fighter is to stay relaxed and flexible, so that your technique is smooth; proper technique using skeletal mechanics and can help offset cold muscles. You can partially control whether you are a C or D fighter, but better is to say that regardless of which you are that conditioning for endurance will always help you. If you are naturally a C, this helps you perform at your best for longer. If you are a D, this allows you to push yourself harder without overdoing it. There is no fighter that does not benefit tremendously from endurance training. If you are an A vs a B, you will always win initially. If you are a B vs an A, you are just looking to survive until the A gets tired. If the A has trained for endurance, the B needs to have done the same. AC vs BD tends to be a quick fight in which the AC fighter outclassed the BD fighter too much in performance level to end things decisively; if you are naturally a BD fighter it becomes especially important because of this matchup to warm up pre-fight and to focus more on reflex mechanics than endurance when training. Something to consider also is the impact of feeling pain on your energy level; everything done to you that hurts will pump more adrenaline into your bloodstream, which has the effect of burning through your energy faster. If you are a B type, this can actually help; some fighters will tell you that the first punch "wakes them up". If you are a C type and especially if your conditioning isn't fantastic, it's very important not to trade blows and burn through your already short energy supply.
Maybe you should add a sixth type, a "wavy". You've certainly seen people like this. It's someone who goes through a couple cycles in the same bout, like Sugar Ray Leonard, who usually had two or three performance surges every fight. It's easier to see in boxing, with lengthy matches, but you get the idea. Just a thought.
you could also add exponential types and other things like that, but the idea is trying to change the shape of your graph. If you go up in performance over time like me, you want to reach your peak faster, thus an exponential. for the 'halfpipe' thing, that would be more and larger second winds over time, thus the squiggly. the time bomb would try to stay at peak longer with the ideal shape being as flat on top as possible.
What you say makes sense, in *competition* fighting especially. However, I always thought that we are to, yes, capitalize on our specific advantages, but for the purposes of live-or-die *combat* , the end-goal of training is to *optimize* ALL of our capacities and make us stronger _overall,_ as well as more *adaptable,* in general. This mindset would thus make us better able to deal with a wider range of possible threats. I'm a big guy with a long reach with a background mostly in striking arts... but that _doesn't mean_ that i _shouldn't_ have SOME skills in grappling, or train outside _kumite_ to go longer, or train slow twitch muscles to fight quicker opponents with more stamina, or that traditional and modern weapons training should be ignored. Personally I think it's sensible to highlight our unique advantages, especially considering a given art [most Wing Tsun fighters will have impressive hand speed, to a degree, but the art itself is notorious for lacking in kicks, for example]. So yes, master the particularities of your style and your body dynamics, but its still more _prudent_ to aim to become as *complete* a fighter as possible. This way we'll be better prepared for Whatever the world throws at us.
Full agreement…., what you write was always my maxim. However, successful street fighters are mostly specialists, they have perfected one or two techniques and are determined to use it.
I'm agree with you. I'm karate student and biochemical researcher. I work in a doping control laboratory and I'm studying about genes and sport performance. Very interesting video. Oss!
Well Jesse i have to thank you. Thanks to your videos i kicked my ass yesterday the first time to Karate training. So i am a total beginner but the community in the dojo and the sport itself catched me immediatly :) I think you have born a new Karate Nerd :D Thank you very much :)
This does make sense... a lot of sense. I would add that your body type and length (reach if you like) plays a factor as well when determining personal style. I'm a shorter - short-limbed person. I learned karate from a long-limbed person and a lot of techniques (particularly long-range techniques) I learned that worked for him, did not work as well for me when I was sparring longer people. I did after a time realize that I was a lot more effective in the punching and grappling zones. We did not practice grappling so I had to learn the basics somewhere else. For long-range fighting, my goal was to adapt timing, learn to feint, and learn to close distance rather than try to exist and compete on the outside. That said, what you have said here lays a great foundation that perhaps should be worked on from white belt level.
These video kind of remind me the types of styles of boxing (one of my favourite fighting style alongside karate), there's the out-boxer who fight by keeping his distance from his opponent and hit with fast punches, the swarmer who fight by continuously punching his opponent in an aggressive way applying constant pressure on him, the slugger who fight by using more brute strenght than techniques and the boxer-puncher whos' quite a mix between a swarmer and an outboxer.
@@ehisey Wait, clincher? Isn't boxing a striking art were only punches are allowed? Also i thought swarmer and in fighter were the same types of boxer.
@@samuelebincoletto637 Post Queensbury rules yes. Before that it was perfectly acceptable to grap and toss the opponent down, but was considered ungentlemanly thus removed in the Queensbury rules. In the "3 types" listing (slugger, swarmer,boxer) the "in-fighter" and "out-fighter" both fall under the "boxer" catagory. A swarmer is hallmarked by high pressure, high volume and high aggression in an attempt to overwhelm the opponent. The in-fighter is noted for the ability to safely stay in the pocket and trade blows at very close range. Out-fighter's want to stay at medium to long range and pick a part an opponet often relying on superior footwork to pull it off. Slugger is typified as the power hitter be it long or med or short range, they tend to have a very low overall punch volume, but very very heavy punches.
@@ehisey I see, so the in fighter is just another type of the classic boxer, right? Also when you say post queensbury you mean when boxing started using gloves?
@@samuelebincoletto637 Right, the "in-fighter" and and "out-fighter" are is now called a "boxer". Gloves predate the Queensbury rules. By 1865, Boxing had already become very recognizable as to days sport, but still had smell of "prize fighting" about it. The 1865 rules were to make the sport a more "civil affair".
I'd say I'm a grinder that tails off towards the end, approaching 50, arthritis in both knees, I generally wait your the younger fighters to expend all their energy, then attack
I'm similar in certain aspects. I'm 26, but I've been dealing with chronic back pain despite many treatments. I've always had a strategy that works for me, which is essentially me waiting for my attacker to make their move and/or ware themselves down. Once they make their move or tire out, I respond. Although I've studied both grappling and striking, my back problem has limited me to almost no striking, but luckily I'm still capable of certain grappling moves, joint locks/limb breaks, and a few strikes here and there. (I'm speaking in the context of self defense when it comes to the locks and limb breaking.) No more so than ever before, I always try to end a fight as quickly and efficiently as possible, although for me I often to do with throws or takedowns. A lot of my favorite and most practiced moves are from my past experience in Judo and Combat Hapkido, but I have lately been using those experiences to teach myself some basic Shuai Jiao. (Basically a Chinese system of traditional Wrestling for reference.) I really like Shuai Jiao because it uses the legs a lot for different sweeping techniques, which is easier on my body than anything else I used to do in Judo or Hapkido. Anyway, I apologize if I started rambling a bit, but thank you for your time and for your original comment. I hope you are doing well and that you will be able to continue your martial arts training as well as your preferred lifestyle.
Depends, if you control distance that works all day every day. But I'm not too keen on absorbing to many hits from a strong young opponent hoping he gets winded.
Ronin 6 when knees or lower back become an issue often you want to close the distance. When sparing play around with the idea of fighting in a telephone booth.
This is what I've been searching for! I officially love you Jesse. You helped me actually come to a new realizations about myself, that are key to my next life goal. Also didn't know about these archtypes or thought of the time concept being added.. you're a GENIUS Thank you, bless you!
I have noticed this in many people including myself but never this much in depth. This is an incredible help THANK YOU! I love all of your videos they are extremely helpful. You give so much to think about.
Sorry if this seems presunptuous, but only partially agreed. Because how you manage your energy will be as important as it naturally works. The same way a Rocket could delay his peak keeping an average pace, a Sky-Slope could also pace himself to be a halfpipe against a Grinder lets say capitalizing in blitz strategies.... How you manage your energy depends more than just recovery, it also relies on accuracy, strenght, space coordination and how big is your repertoir so you can adapt or force the enemy to addapt while you dribble the hurdles to apply your fight strategie properly... As someone who doesn't know a lot my doubts can seem petty, but its honest confusion...
Very insightful - I can imagine applying that at work, as well. Everyone in a team have their specific strengths, it doesn't make sense to expect grinder behavior from a rocket, but a rocket can be effective in situations requiring bursts of output.
Stop correcting him...i Like the DE-PROVE word better, LOL. His unconcerned genuine facial expression while trying to figure it out was the best, LOL. I like 'De-Prove'.
max Holloway is either a Rocket but starts to perform at a high level or a Grinder (steady) but the horizontal line is already at a high performance level
I like the point. Julia Henriques had a nice addition (the waver). For the purpose of the right training, yes it makes sense to know our own style. For a fight, it is also important to know the fighting style of the opponent, so we are a step ahead in the tactics, because we can design a game plan which is suitable to overwin his style. So, I think it is also important to be able to perform every style according to the need/situation. But of course, like Mike Tyson put it: "Everbody has a plan - untill he gets hit".
Its weird but I vary depending on different activities. Running I'm the rocket, fighting I'm the green one, sports (football) I'm definitely the halfpipe. Still very useful information , thanks
😂😂 then there’s the graph type that kills you with laughter.. far out I just laughed at your comment for the entirety of the video now all I care about is you are the graph 😂
We always divided people's styles up according to the five elements of Buddhism (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Void). I was always referred to as "VERY Earth", which is similar to your notion of the grinder. I think dividing it up is a really good approach no matter how you do it.
Maybe Type 5 should be called "The Action Movie" where the plot starts out ok or higher, then falls in the second act, and finally the injured Jean-Claude/Daniel-san overcomes everything in a glorious finish :)
I like your theory. From a physiological perspective it makes sense. My teacher Guro Tony of the Miami Arnis Group uses a strategic or tactical approach. He's identified several arch types as well. The bracers, which tense up and fight tight. The swingers, which fight very loose and over commit. The in fighters who stay close. The snipers, who are tecnical and like to hit and run. We like to do whats worse for them rather than simply whats best for us. Thanks for sharing.
Insightful! Thanks 😉 If someone at the dojo is fighting you a lot and knows how you fight you can always switch your style to catch them off their guard..
He had insane cardio, but generally, his fights lasted a very short amount of time. My bet is on #2 though. Just has a longer slope due to the cardio emphasis.
Sadly I'm a bit late to see this but it's really interesting noticing that those archetypes are indeed related to the five elements (wich actually translate literally as"five movements")and i find it very interesting to see somebody who could reach that point without necessarily exploring those Chinese knowledge. Personally i think the same about not fighting the same way as your master because in that case you'd fall into a stile more that into martial arts, I also think that when you get to know how to understand the way you fight it opens your mindset but also you need to be flexible enough to fight in a style that's not naturally yours in the case that your opponent's natural style counters yours
My way was learning a few basics from Karate and Wing Chun (basic blocking and striking techniques) and applying them to my own street fighting style (my purest most natural fighting style) whenever I have had to fight on the street (maybe 10 times in my whole life, I am 36, and no I never look for a fight, never initiated one, always reacting in self defence) So to me it was very important not to get bogged down by any one teachers rigid fighting style and find my own 👍🏻
Awesome video Brother and thanks for sharing your time and videos and thoughts on Karate. Please keep on posting your vlogs cause I really appreciate your time on showing us your videos of Karate knowledge Sir!!!
Yes I think this is a phenomenon that we can observe in competition fighting as well as team and individual sports. I noticed in my own training back in the day that I'm more of the grinder, don't want to tire myself out too quickly, also don't want to leave myself wide open for those more energetic beginners.
Yes I agree, you are very correct on how instructors try to make everyone the same when everyone has certain natural abilities that makes them who they are
Just my personal experience I find that your max speed is limited by genetics, but I would say anyone can actually move fairly fast. Some of it has to do with mindset, some of it has to do with understanding the body and physics. Using circles to accelerate the hand, proper relaxation, amount of telegraph, chaining energy up. Even if at full proper relaxation your hand were for some reason slow, you can compensate with full body motions. Everything moving slow together passing their speed off to the next motion for a final fast motion. Similar to when people get tired doing a bicep curl and start rocking their body to pass the energy up to make it easier. On a side note, when you're saying people train the same, I agree. To me that's the difference between a style and a concept based system. All arts should be treated like a concept in my opinion, everyone should have a different flavor.
Yes it does absolutely make sense! It's the same when people are lifting weights trying to built muscle. What works great for 1 doesn't necessarily work best for someone else!
This was a cool video! As a musical performer playing a very physically demanding instrument that requires a lot of endurance, it’s interesting and thought provoking to see the similarities here between music abilities and fighting styles. Finding those parallels is always interesting to me, as a former student of one and a current student of the other.
1st type- max holloway, donald cerrone 2nd type- conor mcgregor 3rd type- kamaru usman, colby covington 4th type- jose aldo(not too sure maybe there's a better example) 5th type- bisping, (i also wanna say whittaker cuz of the 2nd romero fight but not too sure)
I love your videos, Jesse. Really well done and a great way of considering different aspects of training whilst keeping the mind on Karate whilst not in the dojo. Thanks!
That's a great way of assessing different fighters - I agree :-) An interesting analogy : I assess a fighter in terms of the canine world .... the Bulldog, the Terrier, the Rotweiler etc. - you get the picture ...
@@peterrussell6029 haha, yeah we have a little guy in our club who I call 'The Terrier' in sparring because he comes after you, snapping at your heels.. the guy is relentless :)
Yes, I definitely agree because different people fight in different ways and another thing I usually ask my prospective students if they want to learn sport or self defense, this also needs to be looked at when you are helping someone to decide which style they should go to for best learning.
Brilliant understanding of developing fighting style based on DNA of the individual, physiology, temperament/ Evidently, there is real passion and enthusiasm for self-education and teaching/
I think you are so right in this one. Last day in the dojo we were pao punching and sensei said: Tate, age or otoshi is right. You need to know your wrists, and the rest of your body. You know what you are talking about.
*itzCHOGI * false and that ideal could possibility get you killed. Is it good to train your body, yes. Is it also good to train with a gun yes. I’d rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
Yes! You're absolutely right Jesse... That's the thing, most of practitioners mimic the Martials Arts they have learned but it's not supposed like that..... Martials Arts teach you to defend and fight. The style (own style) comes after you learned to adopt in actual combat or fight. Individual has his/her own way of defending and fighting during actual combat. The technique guides us not the form (stances to deliver) , yes the form is important but the understanding when and how to do it in right timing is the key... Thanks Jesse.... For many years, Now I'm certainly right about it. That's exactly what I thought after my injuries in my left arm. I start to adapt many things and reject what is not need, and collect what is useful in corporate to my own style👍👍👍
The blue one. Definetly. Starting extremly powerfull but after a few minutes my tank is empty and my performance goes down and down and down. Unfortunately this isn't a good strategy for exams :')
Yes. This was great. I'm definitely the Half Pipe. I go hard at first for a short while and then die down a while, but the more I keep pushing, I get that second wind and feel like I can go on forever
yes it makes sense. back in the 1980's when I was in my 20's, weighing 72 kg and lightly muscled I fought full contact and I was like you, but after years of adjusting my skills/ style and teaching, now 57 years old, more heavily muscled and weighing in at 88 kg , I am more like your brother 'a Grinder'... my endurance wears people down
Hi Jesse sensei! I have sparring for my 6th kyu belt test in shitoryu, and I was wondering if you had any tips on how to fight better in general? My sensei and I agree that atm, my kicks are abit slow, so I'll be focusing on punches. Are there any drills you have to increase punching speed and power? And do you think range or retreat is more important in sparring? This is cause my sensei advises me to go down low when I throw a gyakuzuki in a zenkutsudachi, to furthur my reach, but personally, I take a step forward and snap my waist and backleg for gyakuzukis, resulting in less range, but faster pull back, as I'm still in motodachi. Thanks alot for your advise!
Im a combination between the third, fourth and fifth. It depends on the opponent and my mood. But for the most part I start median speed, then get faster , coast at that speed and then get a lil bit faster as each minute passes. More like a stairway than a straight line up but without the dip of the positive slope or the high plateu of the negative one. Thx for this video, it really helped me alot in showing me that I need to focus on more cardio
I'm an Exercise Science Guy and Master Fitness Trainer , there are essentially 3 Fiber types Type A slow twitch , endurance , type B Fast Twitch power and type C which can switch from Endurance to Power depending on how you train them on top of that we each have a specific percentage of each in our body which along with our Frame Ectomorph ,Mesomorph ,Endomorph and Bone lengths will determine ultimately how our bodies will work and what we do well. That said I'd be interested in how this plugs into your Energy equation graph
Brother....you just blew my mind. Everything you said makes sense, and it's a wonder this point/theory has never been brought up (at least not that I've heard)! I sadly would categorize myself as "ski-sloper", now that being said, what kind of drills do you suggest I should practice to either A.) Capitalize on this, or B.) Make it better. I personally practice Seireikai Karate-do, which is a version of Kyokushin (the Padron Dojo here in Columbus, Ohio). I would have loved it if you had shared this theory last year before I fought in the Arnold, it could have possibly saved me from enduring a GNARLY liver punch by a WONDERFUL Canadian semi pro fighter 🤣🤣🤣! I also finally wanna say that I just love your stuff, please let Columbus Ohio know if you're ever in our neck of the woods, I would DIE to attend one of your seminars. Cheers, brother! Thank you for your time, insight, and just being you. *internet bow* Osu!!!!!
You should do both A and B. You can capitalize on your high tempo start and come out strong, but in your training focus on roadwork and endurance drills so that your downward slope of energy will be less steep. Mind you it’s not easy, but it does help. For me, I’m the rocket and I have the opposite problem, I would often start too slow in sports. Working out more and doing more endurance stuff helped me start better so my later rounds are even higher.
I’ve been all 5 and been through nearly 10 different styles of training routines. I’ve found my training routines, injuries, and prefight mental preparation can have a far more dramatic impact on my speed, endurance, focus, precision, and hence the style that is most effective at that time, than anything else. Try running a couple miles every other day for a month and fight, then 30 min. Sprinter/boxing drills and stair running for a month and fight, then HIIT+Weights for a month and fight. The changes in my fighting were very apparent. Prefight mental prep/meditation also had a similarly strong impact. Traditional BJJ, Kung-Fu, kickboxing have very different mental preparation that impact how you fight.
I would also add that I am disabled(nerve damage in legs) so I chose to learn a stick fighting art for self defense. My “cane” is a modified fighting stick. Knowledge of some grappling is good if I’m taken off my feet but the engagement or fight will start standing up. I liked this idea of adapting to what type you are instead of only doing what everyone else does
Yes, that makes sense. All of us have different genes, and our fighting style could either benefit our genes or forego it. Our fighting style either could improve or lessen our innate fighting style being based off these genetic differences. Therefore knowing then could help us greatly improve our natural fighting styles with time. Either understanding our fighting prowess or falling to our weaknesses will help us better fight or die with honor.
Thanks again Sensei Jesse, in the yesterday training I was fighting with my mate and I did realize that I couldn't keep my stamina like he does, I was really concerned about it, but now your lesson bring me some understanding and I can work to improve myself. Oss.
Dear Jesse, I also have noticed that one can demonstrate different archetypes in different periods of life or (!) depending on psychological state. In other words your natural archetype can be changed under influence of stress or PTSD (psychological trauma). And then your body behaves differently, because your sympathetic nervous system automatically regulates it according to “fight/flight/hide” regime.
Very interesting thoughts. On the way to find my fighting style, other genetic criteria were more important: 1. The height, 2. The mobility of the hips, 3. Speed and coordination options 4. The leg and arm length. My body is not suitable for Asian martial arts. The only reasonable option in the last 60's has been boxing as I'm tall but relatively immobile.
I'm the half pipe. I can start quite strong, but then after a certain while I feel tired and have to et over that phase to find a second energy boost. I'll try to use this for my training and also know I have to attack fast and then be patient. I adore your videos and so does my sensei. Great fan.
I like it. Makes a lot of sense from what I’ve seen over the years. I would definitely be the “time bomb”. It takes me a little bit to get the juices really flowing but then suddenly I explode into action and sometimes try to overwhelm my opponent if I can, and then if he’s still around after that I start to Peter out again and have to really pick and choose my opportunities. I’m actually kinda like that in just about everything I do in life come to think of it 🤷🏻♂️.
Westerner: "Hey, let's get naked and grapple to protect our village" Mongolian: "Hi, eat some arrow from horse" Chinese: "Let's kick them from horse" End of martial art history...
I'm totally the ski slope build. Most people can't handle the first few seconds, and that's how I win, but if they've got exceptional defense, I've got a problem.
Thanks for your insightful comments! 🙏 Feel free to check out my website if you want to learn more about Karate: www.karatebyjesse.com 👍

I love this idea
@@rafly5443I guess, if you are someone that are explosive in the beginning more focus on pure strength? And if you are strong at the end, you need more endurance to be able to get there? And that would be reflected in the basic "non technique" training that all martial artist does? Or..?
Your muscles do one of the following (based mostly in DNA):
A -- warm up quickly (good early, but you are burning more energy)
B -- warm up slowly (bad early, but you are conserving energy)
Your muscles also do one of the following:
C -- get tired quickly (from lack of conditioning, but also due to DNA)
D -- get tired slowly (from good conditioning, but also due to DNA)
Rocket = BD
(MISSING) = BC/BD
Time Bomb = BC
Half Pipe = AC (extremely poor DNA and conditioning)
Ski Slope = AC/AD (hybrid of Half Pipe and Grinder)
Grinder = AD (extremely good DNA and conditioning)
The missing 6th slope looks like the left half of the Time Bomb; a curve that starts low, slowly plateauing out into a sustained strong performance that stops improving much about halfway through the fight.
These curves do not directly translate into 6 distinct fighting styles; rather, they limit your options as to what fighting styles will work for you in a fight. The BD fighter can choose to fight like a BC or BC/BD fighter by pushing themselves hard once their body warms up. The BC fighter can choose to fight like a BC/BD or BD fighter by training for endurance and conserving energy rather than going all out as soon as their adrenaline kicks in. The AC fighter can stay calm and conserve energy to fight more like an AC/AD or AD fighter. The AD fighter can be very aggressive to fight more like an AC or AC/AD fighter.
Mentally, it's about preference. A fighter who hates feeling fatigued will be either an AD or BD style fighter; they will prefer to conserve energy rather than do more offensively, all fight long. A fighter who hates being outfought in the moment will be either an AC or BC style fighter; they will burn extra energy to make sure they hold their own at all times.
You can't do too much about whether you are an A or B fighter. If the fight is organized, you can warm up prior to actually fighting... but this wouldn't help you in a self defense scenario, and is only so effective since your adrenaline spike much higher under duress than from just exercise. The one thing you can do as a B fighter is to stay relaxed and flexible, so that your technique is smooth; proper technique using skeletal mechanics and can help offset cold muscles.
You can partially control whether you are a C or D fighter, but better is to say that regardless of which you are that conditioning for endurance will always help you. If you are naturally a C, this helps you perform at your best for longer. If you are a D, this allows you to push yourself harder without overdoing it. There is no fighter that does not benefit tremendously from endurance training.
If you are an A vs a B, you will always win initially. If you are a B vs an A, you are just looking to survive until the A gets tired. If the A has trained for endurance, the B needs to have done the same. AC vs BD tends to be a quick fight in which the AC fighter outclassed the BD fighter too much in performance level to end things decisively; if you are naturally a BD fighter it becomes especially important because of this matchup to warm up pre-fight and to focus more on reflex mechanics than endurance when training.
Something to consider also is the impact of feeling pain on your energy level; everything done to you that hurts will pump more adrenaline into your bloodstream, which has the effect of burning through your energy faster. If you are a B type, this can actually help; some fighters will tell you that the first punch "wakes them up". If you are a C type and especially if your conditioning isn't fantastic, it's very important not to trade blows and burn through your already short energy supply.
I pay more attention to this than I do in science class 😂

@@gunshot8456 yup
Maybe you should add a sixth type, a "wavy". You've certainly seen people like this. It's someone who goes through a couple cycles in the same bout, like Sugar Ray Leonard, who usually had two or three performance surges every fight. It's easier to see in boxing, with lengthy matches, but you get the idea. Just a thought.
Or you could consider this a time-bomb over a longer period of time. Although, I like the idea. Adding a random-wavy type.
It would be the opposite of the grinder
you could also add exponential types and other things like that, but the idea is trying to change the shape of your graph. If you go up in performance over time like me, you want to reach your peak faster, thus an exponential. for the 'halfpipe' thing, that would be more and larger second winds over time, thus the squiggly. the time bomb would try to stay at peak longer with the ideal shape being as flat on top as possible.
Yea bro that me
Yes, exactly. I was thinking about that.
White belts have to learn patience while cleaning permanent marker off the dojo floor......
😂😂
100% legit
What you say makes sense, in *competition* fighting especially. However, I always thought that we are to, yes, capitalize on our specific advantages, but for the purposes of live-or-die *combat* , the end-goal of training is to *optimize* ALL of our capacities and make us stronger _overall,_ as well as more *adaptable,* in general. This mindset would thus make us better able to deal with a wider range of possible threats. I'm a big guy with a long reach with a background mostly in striking arts... but that _doesn't mean_ that i _shouldn't_ have SOME skills in grappling, or train outside _kumite_ to go longer, or train slow twitch muscles to fight quicker opponents with more stamina, or that traditional and modern weapons training should be ignored.
Personally I think it's sensible to highlight our unique advantages, especially considering a given art [most Wing Tsun fighters will have impressive hand speed, to a degree, but the art itself is notorious for lacking in kicks, for example]. So yes, master the particularities of your style and your body dynamics, but its still more _prudent_ to aim to become as *complete* a fighter as possible. This way we'll be better prepared for Whatever the world throws at us.

Very true.
@@notproductiveproductions3504 Kick to the nuts?
Full agreement…., what you write was always my maxim. However, successful street fighters are mostly specialists, they have perfected one or two techniques and are determined to use it.

Well Jesse i have to thank you. Thanks to your videos i kicked my ass yesterday the first time to Karate training. So i am a total beginner but the community in the dojo and the sport itself catched me immediatly :) I think you have born a new Karate Nerd :D Thank you very much :)
AWESOME! 👍👍👍
This does make sense... a lot of sense. I would add that your body type and length (reach if you like) plays a factor as well when determining personal style. I'm a shorter - short-limbed person. I learned karate from a long-limbed person and a lot of techniques (particularly long-range techniques) I learned that worked for him, did not work as well for me when I was sparring longer people. I did after a time realize that I was a lot more effective in the punching and grappling zones. We did not practice grappling so I had to learn the basics somewhere else. For long-range fighting, my goal was to adapt timing, learn to feint, and learn to close distance rather than try to exist and compete on the outside. That said, what you have said here lays a great foundation that perhaps should be worked on from white belt level.
These video kind of remind me the types of styles of boxing (one of my favourite fighting style alongside karate), there's the out-boxer who fight by keeping his distance from his opponent and hit with fast punches, the swarmer who fight by continuously punching his opponent in an aggressive way applying constant pressure on him, the slugger who fight by using more brute strenght than techniques and the boxer-puncher whos' quite a mix between a swarmer and an outboxer.
The 5 classic boxers were slugger, swarmer, in fighter, out fighter, clincher/thrower. The last one pretty much died off woth the modern rules.
@@ehisey Wait, clincher? Isn't boxing a striking art were only punches are allowed? Also i thought swarmer and in fighter were the same types of boxer.
@@samuelebincoletto637 Post Queensbury rules yes. Before that it was perfectly acceptable to grap and toss the opponent down, but was considered ungentlemanly thus removed in the Queensbury rules. In the "3 types" listing (slugger, swarmer,boxer) the "in-fighter" and "out-fighter" both fall under the "boxer" catagory. A swarmer is hallmarked by high pressure, high volume and high aggression in an attempt to overwhelm the opponent. The in-fighter is noted for the ability to safely stay in the pocket and trade blows at very close range. Out-fighter's want to stay at medium to long range and pick a part an opponet often relying on superior footwork to pull it off. Slugger is typified as the power hitter be it long or med or short range, they tend to have a very low overall punch volume, but very very heavy punches.
@@ehisey I see, so the in fighter is just another type of the classic boxer, right? Also when you say post queensbury you mean when boxing started using gloves?
@@samuelebincoletto637 Right, the "in-fighter" and and "out-fighter" are is now called a "boxer". Gloves predate the Queensbury rules. By 1865, Boxing had already become very recognizable as to days sport, but still had smell of "prize fighting" about it. The 1865 rules were to make the sport a more "civil affair".
I'd say I'm a grinder that tails off towards the end, approaching 50, arthritis in both knees, I generally wait your the younger fighters to expend all their energy, then attack
I'm similar in certain aspects. I'm 26, but I've been dealing with chronic back pain despite many treatments. I've always had a strategy that works for me, which is essentially me waiting for my attacker to make their move and/or ware themselves down. Once they make their move or tire out, I respond. Although I've studied both grappling and striking, my back problem has limited me to almost no striking, but luckily I'm still capable of certain grappling moves, joint locks/limb breaks, and a few strikes here and there. (I'm speaking in the context of self defense when it comes to the locks and limb breaking.)
No more so than ever before, I always try to end a fight as quickly and efficiently as possible, although for me I often to do with throws or takedowns. A lot of my favorite and most practiced moves are from my past experience in Judo and Combat Hapkido, but I have lately been using those experiences to teach myself some basic Shuai Jiao. (Basically a Chinese system of traditional Wrestling for reference.) I really like Shuai Jiao because it uses the legs a lot for different sweeping techniques, which is easier on my body than anything else I used to do in Judo or Hapkido.
Anyway, I apologize if I started rambling a bit, but thank you for your time and for your original comment. I hope you are doing well and that you will be able to continue your martial arts training as well as your preferred lifestyle.
Depends, if you control distance that works all day every day. But I'm not too keen on absorbing to many hits from a strong young opponent hoping he gets winded.
just an adapted strategy ..did you play that game in your youth ?
Ronin 6 when knees or lower back become an issue often you want to close the distance. When sparing play around with the idea of fighting in a telephone booth.
I'm the flat green line but mine goes across the top
This is what I've been searching for!
I officially love you Jesse. You helped me actually come to a new realizations about myself,
that are key to my next life goal. Also didn't know about these archtypes or thought of the time concept being added.. you're a GENIUS
Thank you, bless you!
I have noticed this in many people including myself but never this much in depth. This is an incredible help THANK YOU! I love all of your videos they are extremely helpful. You give so much to think about.
Thanks for your kind words 👏🙏🌟
And thank you Sensei for all your help and insights on this path of our martial journey! It is greatly appreciated!
Sorry if this seems presunptuous, but only partially agreed. Because how you manage your energy will be as important as it naturally works. The same way a Rocket could delay his peak keeping an average pace, a Sky-Slope could also pace himself to be a halfpipe against a Grinder lets say capitalizing in blitz strategies....
How you manage your energy depends more than just recovery, it also relies on accuracy, strenght, space coordination and how big is your repertoir so you can adapt or force the enemy to addapt while you dribble the hurdles to apply your fight strategie properly...
As someone who doesn't know a lot my doubts can seem petty, but its honest confusion...
I absolutely love this guy and his brother, you don't get more cutting edge than this type of advice, respect 👊🇮🇪🍀
Not gonna lie I got nervous when the blonde haired, blue eyed, Northern European man started talking about genetics...

I was wondering if there became any marks on the floor?
Why wouldn’t he? It’s his studio.
Very insightful - I can imagine applying that at work, as well. Everyone in a team have their specific strengths, it doesn't make sense to expect grinder behavior from a rocket, but a rocket can be effective in situations requiring bursts of output.
Oh, by the way, you had me laughing hard at how you changed markers. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

max Holloway is either a Rocket but starts to perform at a high level or a Grinder (steady) but the horizontal line is already at a high performance level
I like the point. Julia Henriques had a nice addition (the waver). For the purpose of the right training, yes it makes sense to know our own style. For a fight, it is also important to know the fighting style of the opponent, so we are a step ahead in the tactics, because we can design a game plan which is suitable to overwin his style. So, I think it is also important to be able to perform every style according to the need/situation. But of course, like Mike Tyson put it: "Everbody has a plan - untill he gets hit".
Its weird but I vary depending on different activities.
Running I'm the rocket, fighting I'm the green one, sports (football) I'm definitely the halfpipe.
Still very useful information , thanks

😂😂 then there’s the graph type that kills you with laughter.. far out I just laughed at your comment for the entirety of the video now all I care about is you are the graph 😂
We always divided people's styles up according to the five elements of Buddhism (Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Void). I was always referred to as "VERY Earth", which is similar to your notion of the grinder. I think dividing it up is a really good approach no matter how you do it.
Fire = ski slope
Earth = grinder
Water = rocket?
So which us air and void then?
Maybe Type 5 should be called "The Action Movie" where the plot starts out ok or higher, then falls in the second act, and finally the injured Jean-Claude/Daniel-san overcomes everything in a glorious finish :)
I like your theory. From a physiological perspective it makes sense. My teacher Guro Tony of the Miami Arnis Group uses a strategic or tactical approach. He's identified several arch types as well. The bracers, which tense up and fight tight. The swingers, which fight very loose and over commit. The in fighters who stay close. The snipers, who are tecnical and like to hit and run. We like to do whats worse for them rather than simply whats best for us. Thanks for sharing.
Cool! 😎👊👍
Insightful! Thanks 😉
If someone at the dojo is fighting you a lot and knows how you fight you can always switch your style to catch them off their guard..
The art of war 😎😎😎
Teaching in a system trains the individual to then find their style with what works with his or her body. Excellent video!!
What do you think Bruce Lee's style was?
getting better over time Is my pick.
Bruce Lee was ultra instinct Goku.
Capoeira Norwalk Ultra Instinct Goku wishes...
He had insane cardio, but generally, his fights lasted a very short amount of time. My bet is on #2 though. Just has a longer slope due to the cardio emphasis.
Bruce was water.
He was a grinder. The same performance through the ass kicking he delivered
Sadly I'm a bit late to see this but it's really interesting noticing that those archetypes are indeed related to the five elements (wich actually translate literally as"five movements")and i find it very interesting to see somebody who could reach that point without necessarily exploring those Chinese knowledge. Personally i think the same about not fighting the same way as your master because in that case you'd fall into a stile more that into martial arts, I also think that when you get to know how to understand the way you fight it opens your mindset but also you need to be flexible enough to fight in a style that's not naturally yours in the case that your opponent's natural style counters yours
Last one: high output in the beginning going for KO/Points, take a breath defending, get second wind and finish strong!
My way was learning a few basics from Karate and Wing Chun (basic blocking and striking techniques) and applying them to my own street fighting style (my purest most natural fighting style) whenever I have had to fight on the street (maybe 10 times in my whole life, I am 36, and no I never look for a fight, never initiated one, always reacting in self defence) So to me it was very important not to get bogged down by any one teachers rigid fighting style and find my own 👍🏻
Awesome video Brother and thanks for sharing your time and videos and thoughts on Karate. Please keep on posting your vlogs cause I really appreciate your time on showing us your videos of Karate knowledge Sir!!!
Thanks, glad you liked it! Will do 😄
I forgot Happy New Year and God bless you and be bless Sir!!!
Yes I think this is a phenomenon that we can observe in competition fighting as well as team and individual sports. I noticed in my own training back in the day that I'm more of the grinder, don't want to tire myself out too quickly, also don't want to leave myself wide open for those more energetic beginners.
1 Max Holloway for sure
2 Connor Mcgregor
3 Brian Ortega
4 Yoel Romero (round 3 beast)
5 Bisping is a good example
What do you guys think?
Yes I agree, you are very correct on how instructors try to make everyone the same when everyone has certain natural abilities that makes them who they are
Just my personal experience
I find that your max speed is limited by genetics, but I would say anyone can actually move fairly fast.
Some of it has to do with mindset, some of it has to do with understanding the body and physics.
Using circles to accelerate the hand, proper relaxation, amount of telegraph, chaining energy up.
Even if at full proper relaxation your hand were for some reason slow, you can compensate with full body motions. Everything moving slow together passing their speed off to the next motion for a final fast motion.
Similar to when people get tired doing a bicep curl and start rocking their body to pass the energy up to make it easier.
On a side note, when you're saying people train the same, I agree. To me that's the difference between a style and a concept based system.
All arts should be treated like a concept in my opinion, everyone should have a different flavor.
Yes it does absolutely make sense! It's the same when people are lifting weights trying to built muscle. What works great for 1 doesn't necessarily work best for someone else!
This was a cool video! As a musical performer playing a very physically demanding instrument that requires a lot of endurance, it’s interesting and thought provoking to see the similarities here between music abilities and fighting styles. Finding those parallels is always interesting to me, as a former student of one and a current student of the other.
Yes! I have a great start, then finish as a sweaty punching bag if I don't win fairly quickly. Great description!
1st type- max holloway, donald cerrone
2nd type- conor mcgregor
3rd type- kamaru usman, colby covington
4th type- jose aldo(not too sure maybe there's a better example)
5th type- bisping, (i also wanna say whittaker cuz of the 2nd romero fight but not too sure)
Individualization within styles is exactly what I feel elevates the art so yes,I agree!
I love your videos, Jesse. Really well done and a great way of considering different aspects of training whilst keeping the mind on Karate whilst not in the dojo. Thanks!
A very novel object lesson. I won't be surprised if I start to see others repeating it. Thanks from Texas. Thank you for sharing.
That's a great way of assessing different fighters - I agree :-)
An interesting analogy : I assess a fighter in terms of the canine world .... the Bulldog, the Terrier, the Rotweiler etc. - you get the picture ...
Haha! Different strokes for different folks 😎
Hi Jesse, obviously with my surname, I could only be put into the terrier category :-)
@@peterrussell6029 haha, yeah we have a little guy in our club who I call 'The Terrier' in sparring because he comes after you, snapping at your heels.. the guy is relentless :)
Yes, I definitely agree because different people fight in different ways and another thing I usually ask my prospective students if they want to learn sport or self defense, this also needs to be looked at when you are helping someone to decide which style they should go to for best learning.
When you shout in Swedish you remind me my Sensei when he’s angry😂
Brilliant understanding of developing fighting style based on DNA of the individual, physiology, temperament/ Evidently, there is real passion and enthusiasm for self-education and teaching/
I'm probably a time bomb now that I think of it but I'm really not sure because I don't get the opportunity to spar alot these days. Great video!
I think you are so right in this one. Last day in the dojo we were pao punching and sensei said: Tate, age or otoshi is right. You need to know your wrists, and the rest of your body. You know what you are talking about.
My personal fighting style is a gun...
so you're game, as long as you have ammo...
that's basically everybody.
I see, you've practiced Gun-Kata
A gun is a cowards weapon😂
*itzCHOGI * false and that ideal could possibility get you killed. Is it good to train your body, yes. Is it also good to train with a gun yes. I’d rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.
Goran Lazarevski no one uses a kata in a fight, they’re training tools.
Yes! You're absolutely right Jesse... That's the thing, most of practitioners mimic the Martials Arts they have learned but it's not supposed like that..... Martials Arts teach you to defend and fight. The style (own style) comes after you learned to adopt in actual combat or fight. Individual has his/her own way of defending and fighting during actual combat. The technique guides us not the form (stances to deliver) , yes the form is important but the understanding when and how to do it in right timing is the key... Thanks Jesse.... For many years, Now I'm certainly right about it. That's exactly what I thought after my injuries in my left arm. I start to adapt many things and reject what is not need, and collect what is useful in corporate to my own style👍👍👍
Yes. Btw, I loved the moment you shouted swedish 10:11 😁

The blue one. Definetly. Starting extremly powerfull but after a few minutes my tank is empty and my performance goes down and down and down. Unfortunately this isn't a good strategy for exams :')
Learn to pace yourself 💪
Work on your endurance
Same tbh whenever I'm in a fight I like to go immediately for the win, I don't even like being heated up, because usually it makes me become weaker
Yes. This was great. I'm definitely the Half Pipe. I go hard at first for a short while and then die down a while, but the more I keep pushing, I get that second wind and feel like I can go on forever
it's dangerous for others to know you have one predominant performance time-line. Better to develop another one.
Cerrone vs dos anjos
when i first joined karate I was the second type but now after seeing this video I gradually adapted myself to the first one
I agree, Diaz bros= rocket, Khabib= grinder, McGregor= ski slope, Michael Bisping = half pipe, Yoel Romero= time bomb
3rd round Romero
David Chesney yep that’s what I was thinking
yes it makes sense. back in the 1980's when I was in my 20's, weighing 72 kg and lightly muscled I fought full contact and I was like you, but after years of adjusting my skills/ style and teaching, now 57 years old, more heavily muscled and weighing in at 88 kg , I am more like your brother 'a Grinder'... my endurance wears people down
The Diaz brothers are perfect Grinders
I am currently looking into martial arts schools in my area and ofc I come here for some preliminary advice! Thanks Jesse!
3:10 Martial Charts
The way you explained it made me have a better idea of where I am standing at. Thanks sensei!
Hi Jesse sensei! I have sparring for my 6th kyu belt test in shitoryu, and I was wondering if you had any tips on how to fight better in general? My sensei and I agree that atm, my kicks are abit slow, so I'll be focusing on punches. Are there any drills you have to increase punching speed and power? And do you think range or retreat is more important in sparring? This is cause my sensei advises me to go down low when I throw a gyakuzuki in a zenkutsudachi, to furthur my reach, but personally, I take a step forward and snap my waist and backleg for gyakuzukis, resulting in less range, but faster pull back, as I'm still in motodachi. Thanks alot for your advise!
Im a combination between the third, fourth and fifth. It depends on the opponent and my mood. But for the most part I start median speed, then get faster , coast at that speed and then get a lil bit faster as each minute passes. More like a stairway than a straight line up but without the dip of the positive slope or the high plateu of the negative one. Thx for this video, it really helped me alot in showing me that I need to focus on more cardio
I love this guy! Number 6 is Batman style. He always wins. But it's hard to be like him. Just ask Robin.
I'm an Exercise Science Guy and Master Fitness Trainer , there are essentially 3 Fiber types
Type A slow twitch , endurance , type B Fast Twitch power and type C which can switch from Endurance to Power depending on how you train them on top of that we each have a specific percentage of each in our body which along with our Frame Ectomorph ,Mesomorph ,Endomorph and Bone lengths will determine ultimately how our bodies will work and what we do well.
That said I'd be interested in how this plugs into your Energy equation graph
Brother....you just blew my mind. Everything you said makes sense, and it's a wonder this point/theory has never been brought up (at least not that I've heard)! I sadly would categorize myself as "ski-sloper", now that being said, what kind of drills do you suggest I should practice to either A.) Capitalize on this, or B.) Make it better. I personally practice Seireikai Karate-do, which is a version of Kyokushin (the Padron Dojo here in Columbus, Ohio). I would have loved it if you had shared this theory last year before I fought in the Arnold, it could have possibly saved me from enduring a GNARLY liver punch by a WONDERFUL Canadian semi pro fighter 🤣🤣🤣! I also finally wanna say that I just love your stuff, please let Columbus Ohio know if you're ever in our neck of the woods, I would DIE to attend one of your seminars. Cheers, brother! Thank you for your time, insight, and just being you.
*internet bow*
Osu!!!!!
You should do both A and B. You can capitalize on your high tempo start and come out strong, but in your training focus on roadwork and endurance drills so that your downward slope of energy will be less steep. Mind you it’s not easy, but it does help.
For me, I’m the rocket and I have the opposite problem, I would often start too slow in sports. Working out more and doing more endurance stuff helped me start better so my later rounds are even higher.
Thank you Mr. Harris, I can't wait to start utilizing some of that insight. Well written by the way, loved it!
I’ve been all 5 and been through nearly 10 different styles of training routines. I’ve found my training routines, injuries, and prefight mental preparation can have a far more dramatic impact on my speed, endurance, focus, precision, and hence the style that is most effective at that time, than anything else. Try running a couple miles every other day for a month and fight, then 30 min. Sprinter/boxing drills and stair running for a month and fight, then HIIT+Weights for a month and fight. The changes in my fighting were very apparent. Prefight mental prep/meditation also had a similarly strong impact. Traditional BJJ, Kung-Fu, kickboxing have very different mental preparation that impact how you fight.
This guy’s talking pattern is so awesome for a non native English speaker like me lol
Thanks! English is my 3rd language so I know the feeling
I would also add that I am disabled(nerve damage in legs) so I chose to learn a stick fighting art for self defense. My “cane” is a modified fighting stick. Knowledge of some grappling is good if I’m taken off my feet but the engagement or fight will start standing up. I liked this idea of adapting to what type you are instead of only doing what everyone else does
3:10 What does this type called?
'cause it looks like my output.
This is one of your best videos. I'm the time bomb type. But early in my career, I was the rocket type. Your biology changes as you age
if this is true conor mcgregor would be a ski slope,right?
me to
Yes, that makes sense. All of us have different genes, and our fighting style could either benefit our genes or forego it. Our fighting style either could improve or lessen our innate fighting style being based off these genetic differences. Therefore knowing then could help us greatly improve our natural fighting styles with time. Either understanding our fighting prowess or falling to our weaknesses will help us better fight or die with honor.
1: son goku (vs frieza)
Thanks again Sensei Jesse, in the yesterday training I was fighting with my mate and I did realize that I couldn't keep my stamina like he does, I was really concerned about it, but now your lesson bring me some understanding and I can work to improve myself. Oss.
Awesome video!!😀😀. Btw...the antonym of improve is worsen 😅.
Dear Jesse, I also have noticed that one can demonstrate different archetypes in different periods of life or (!) depending on psychological state. In other words your natural archetype can be changed under influence of stress or PTSD (psychological trauma). And then your body behaves differently, because your sympathetic nervous system automatically regulates it according to “fight/flight/hide” regime.
What if I can do any of those? Is that called super saiyan?
That's kiao ken times 5. Super Saiyan is when you get above 20 lol
training and style matters as well that is what can help you decide on the best style that suits you
Nah that last one shouldve been called the character from any action show movie or anime
Very interesting thoughts.
On the way to find my fighting style, other genetic criteria were more important: 1. The height, 2. The mobility of the hips, 3. Speed and coordination options 4. The leg and arm length.
My body is not suitable for Asian martial arts. The only reasonable option in the last 60's has been boxing as I'm tall but relatively immobile.
5:01 deteriorate
I'm the half pipe. I can start quite strong, but then after a certain while I feel tired and have to et over that phase to find a second energy boost. I'll try to use this for my training and also know I have to attack fast and then be patient.
I adore your videos and so does my sensei. Great fan.
Im a time bomb is that good
I like it. Makes a lot of sense from what I’ve seen over the years. I would definitely be the “time bomb”. It takes me a little bit to get the juices really flowing but then suddenly I explode into action and sometimes try to overwhelm my opponent if I can, and then if he’s still around after that I start to Peter out again and have to really pick and choose my opportunities. I’m actually kinda like that in just about everything I do in life come to think of it 🤷🏻♂️.
Westerner: "Hey, let's get naked and grapple to protect our village"
Mongolian: "Hi, eat some arrow from horse"
Chinese: "Let's kick them from horse"
End of martial art history...
Indians- Let's teach these kids how to do all this properly...
I mean we literally taught Kungfu to the chinese though...
I'm totally the ski slope build. Most people can't handle the first few seconds, and that's how I win, but if they've got exceptional defense, I've got a problem.
im the rocket in trianing
The time bomb in a competition
Oof
adrenaline dump...it's hard to replicate adrenaline in training
Thank you sensei you always come with new things, thumbs for your show
