Fortunately, they didn't always have to start at ground level for the jump.

I loved this and Stephen Thompson, I love watching him geek out over fighting.

A few things that I find especially psychologically important that have and do help me out in competitive situations that Stephen Thompson mentioned are: 1. Being confident in your ability and knowing that you are better than you sometimes feel and 2. Having fun and not letting a fight get to you The second I start to doubt myself, I begin to perform worst and if I forget why I am competing against others (for fun) then I can get 'stuck in my own head.'

Stephen Thompson besides Lyoto Machida is a rare Ufc fighter. who can use traditional karate in mma. He’s been at the top 5 for the last five years in the welterweight division. Cool to see his insight.

Honestly lyoto and wonderboy are in my opinion the best in karate...because as in most martial arts if you cant apply it practically then whats the point? Which is why alot of kung fu is left behind and honestly karate has been around for so long its almost associated with kung fu to most in the west in that they think its the whole "flow like water" thing

Its like "the zone" athletes describe when they are at high potential. When running, I sometimes got to a point at which I felt like I could go on forever at an ever increasing speed. If this is considered "the zone" or just high adrenaline or whatever - it just feels good and you see different results when all pain turns into fun.
