OH fuck , that article is hilarious . In December , Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson added Real men don ' t wear snoods . United defender Rio Ferdinand said U won ' t see a Man Utd player wearing a snood . 1010 <| sep |> Fuck Deandre ! Get him out of Dallas ! !!<| sep |> That ' s awesome , does it have rumble though ? <| sep |> I just about died laughing last night when Gabrus and Spoonman went on about Roger Goodell and Deflategate . Great ep . <| sep |> Heh clipper nation therem come on redskins ! <| sep |> It does help to have some training experience . Try to learn principles of fighting through various disciplines . Although boxing or arts like Muay thai may appear different , you ' ll noticed that they ' re all connected in some way . I would not personally become too attached to any one single approach . To prevent stagnating , be open and always willing to change , adapt , and learn new things my style has changed dramatically so many times . Always be willing to question everything you learn and what you ' re doing . Know exactly why you ' re doing something and its purpose . Also ask yourself what ' s most efficient or the benefits of different approaches . Learn from various people and resources . Absorb wisdom from a much people as you can . One instructor might have a particular philosophy that would clash with other instructors , but that ' s okay . Understand their reasons and embrace all what ' s valuable to you . A strong indication that you have a good understanding of certain things is that you can teach them , and execute them successfully . I draw a lot of the detail in my breakdowns from personal experience . Some of the things fighters are doing are really relateable to me because I ' ve either experienced what they ' re trying to accomplish or I ' ve been on the receiving end of it . Either way , you ' ll understand the process on an intimate level . Like T . J . Dillashaw ' s footwork . It took a lot of studying , drilling , and sparring to master using his craft successfully . After that , knowing the subtle details makes it easier to describe . As you get better you ' ll realize that that advance techniques are really a collective combination of various principles combined into a single execution . Venturing off into various styles helps you connect those principles . I have a strange obsession where I actually keep a journal of my experiences . I keep track of what works , what didn ' t work , sparring sessions , and new creative things to apply next time . This makes me excel my progression by ensuring I work on my holes while also embracing new things . Usually when I watch fights , I ' m looking for habits . Everyone has a set of habits they regularly show . Also , one of the best ways to analyze fights is by studying past tapes on fighters to get a strong sense of their habits and how they ' ve translated into their most current fight . By exposing yourself to various principles through experience , you ' ll be able to recognize what ' s going on . Also look at fights from different perspectives . If you do study fights , I recommend going back to study them after your knowledge grows . You ' ll find new things you never realized before . Also , watch who the best are in certain disciplines and what they ' re doing . Listen to the advice of other great analyst . Like Jack Slack ' s advice about this particular topic . His advice is genuinely helpful . Pay attention to analyst like Dominick Cruz . Not many fighters have found the most optimal approach to certain problems , but Cruz has a good understanding of several situations and he ' s always teaching about the most efficient way to approach a puzzle . To me , it helps to find interviews or video content where fighters discuss technique or their own personal approach . This gives valuable insight about their thought process and strategy . I think the last component is how you connect with people . I spent some time in college learning technical writing and other forms of writing in order to make something of my words . It doesn ' t have to be through writing though . You can do videos or whatever highlights your strengths . I ' ve done a lot of work on Cruz ' s fighting so you can check that content out if you ' re interested .
