"95% of the game is half mental" - Grappling Psychology

[luckyshot]

Some quotes taken from "The fighter's Mind" by Sam Sheridan

Mindset:

"It never always gets worse." Dave Horton, ultra distance runner

"One up him. If he slaps you, you punch him. He punches you, kick him. He kicks you, stab him. He stabs you, shoot him. He shoots you, go and kill his family." Chael Sonnen



"Reflecting on what Liborio and Marcelo talked about, I'm struck again by how humble these guys are. How nice. How pleasant to be around. I used to think it was a product of being great. But suddenly I am struck with a "chicken or egg question"... The humble guys who are the most open and willing to learn, are the ones who become the best."

External accomplishments are distractions. The true grail is to know that you never stopped, that you never broke, that you kept pushing forward and never gave up. Me

Tactics
"Conditioning is by best submission hold." Frank Shamrock

"Flow with the go." Rickson Gracie

The essence of jiu-jitsu is to use your whole body against one of your opponent's isolated parts.

Why does everyone quote Yogi Berra wrong?

It's, "Baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical."

Mind set is huge, I can really attest to this because when my mind is filled with nonsense from the day it drastically brings my game down. When I am clear headed, motivated and happy I can really hang with a lot of people who normally kick my ass when I am preoccupied with stupid shit.
