Joshua Fabia would take him to the next level. He should contact him.

Damn good answer! I liked the part about the darkness being a sacrifice, allowing his body and nervous system to reset and adapt to an improvement in which it's totally dedicated to martial arts training, without relying on other things to stimulate his timing. Basically, like you have said, Jiri trying to find his natural rhythm through sacrifice, in a new method of life, by "doing things the right way".

I think the meditation, the nature contact, the sacrifice of living in isolation... Is his new personality. Precisely, after the Reyes and Glover fight. There was a problem, unknown still, until it's released officially, but there was a big problem in how he conducted his training to get better and fight, before. His resilience was in another level.... He wouldn't rest, he would rush at the opponent almost unconscious while operating at 100%. Even in the fight vs Glover, Glover hit him with severe ground and pound and opened his face... He was still operating at full capacity, like an electrified fighter, despite all the damage, to the point he could only be beaten if defeated by scoring card at the end... since he would be non stop... he would reset quickly from pain. Jiri would even be KO'd briefly like vs Reyes (he admitted he was briefly KO'd when Reyes hit him with that upwards kick — which is an illegal kick btw) — but he fell right on top of Reyes while "KO'd" ... Still though, likely due to overstimulation, his body was still exerting enough strength to keep Reyes down until he reset... And when he reset, Jiri himself said he didn't remember much of the finishing sequence, said it felt like something natural, like a flow. And that was when he started to seriously g&p Reyes and knocked him out cold with the spinning elbow...
That Jiri pre shoulder injury had safety issues, his training needed to be adjusted, as it wasn't allowed... That overstimulation he was in was dangerous for his opponents and for himself, as well. So to adapt his body to perform the best it could in a "human way", that sacrifice, like said, was imo a way of almost torture... Almost like, he himself stopping him from doing what would be comfortable to him, and to subject himself to uncomfortable and hellish situations. And in that way, he could keep fighting in a way he did not need to rely on his old methods, that he could improve naturally. Gradually, by resetting his body through "taking an alt personality" as a way to show that his commitment to staying in the right path and fighting as a martial artist was bigger than anything else... Big enough that he'll take the "embrace the hard work, the grind" 100% seriously and with commitment, by depriving himself from pleasures, from "overstimulation"...

I try not to pay much attention to it, because it really is like that one stoner kid we all knew in high school. Like you're not an anime character fucking stop it.

Agree that none of that crap gives him anything physically.
But fighting has a huge mental component. I remember back in my kickboxing days.. one day I would feel like Anderson Silva in the matrix and another day I would freeze in front of guys that were nowhere near my skil level.
I never nailed the mental side tbh.. guess Jiri gets it by doing these type of crap.

Yes, it's pretty much a mentality training IMO. Like he said, "getting a new personality". Instead of getting his power from his old, not allowed ways, his "post shoulder injury" self embraced the clean path to improvement... And this training, which some analysts faced critically, like if it were all a gimmick to distract people from his continuously "wrong, illegal improvement path"... A "performance boost washing" of sorts. But it wasn't, it was a legit change in his approach, which is directly related to getting himself used to the hellish solitude, to the darkness. To have a moment to be feel comfortable and embrace the darkness.
Jiri would say that he would have nothing but his own thoughts right there, when meditating for days in a dark room with only water. He'd be faced with, likely, a storm of thoughts from a fast paced mind... But through commitment, sheer will and discipline, he'd conquer that, what I imagine was a torturously uncomfortable feeling, thus growing mentally... He'd feel more comfortable in whatever environment he was in, with the "pure performance/ pure, natural focus". "Not any other bull shit, just a pure performance, a perfect storm". Not an artificially boosted storm, but a pure storm that came with personality sacrifice, life sacrifices... All a process toughen up his mind.
After all, ppl don't know, but many times those energy monster drinks boost are way more mental than physical. Which doesn't mean they don't help, they do help a lot... But because the mind gets used to operate at its best only under that "good motivation feeling of pushing harder"... That big focus and mind clarity it gives you, so you can train as hard as ever with no distractions, fully immersed and enjoying the process. Changing a many many years habit, for some pp, works only if done in a cold turkey way — a way that will hurt, that will lead to anguish, I imagine. But when that anguish, that pain, that self questioning — even that "who am I?" — get tamed and totally controlled... That's when his training benefits start to improve over and over, needing only "natural food" to push in a hard and effective way... with your own mind producing the dopamine for it instead of a Monster Adderall not only recycling it, but also shooting additional dopamine in your mind almost to the point of overdose...
This short he posted of him screaming in the beautiful, nature, but also lonely waterfall landscape... Might symbolize what everyone took at, at the time — Jiri channeling his strength... Or instead, actually, his own despair and anguish, releasing that pain inside in a huge roar, of how hard it is to reshape the mind and embrace the heavy sacrifice.
