If you prepare your subconscious for highly stressful situations, you can create harmony with your fears. You can tame fear like a wild animal and use it to your advantage.

My mentality is that when I go to sleep at night, I'm a better martial artist than when I woke up in the morning.

I'm so busy during my everyday, when I go on vacation I need to pull the plug like they say, and to do nothing.

To fight a bigger guy you need to train with bigger guys and it takes a lot more on your body. And it's not your weight class.

As Aristotle wrote a long, long time ago, and I'm paraphrasing here, the goal is to avoid mediocrity by being prepared to try something and either failing miserably or triumphing grandly. Mediocrity is not about failing, and it's the opposite of doing. Mediocrity, in other words, is about not trying. The reason is achingly simple, and I know you've heard it a thousand times before: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Everyone is a threat, and anyone can be beat at any given moment. No one is invincible.
