Mike shows you can be cocky and confident as well as open minded and humble. It's up to you to pick which one to use given different situations. Sparring with a pro fighter is a great opportunity to learn if you dont let your ego get in the way and he shows that here.

Actually I think he did well because of his age and experience at this pace. I am 48 and in class, the younger guys can barely touch me because I have 44 years experience on them and still fit. If we had to go at a higher pace, chances are my many old injuries plus other old guy stuff will most likely slow me down.

this sparring session looks almost choreographed while it's most certainly not. It's eyegasm for any martial arts geek out there... Very appreciated and looking for more.

Started watching due to Mike advising that you were really specific and honest in how you went over the materials on your channel, and that was awesome to see in practice. Great sparring session. Some real interesting tricks being pulled off here. Also, gym owners take note of the fact that you don't have to pay for a full MMA cage to train your folks in some of that experience of being in the cage. Nice workaround there!
