Why Training Fight to Fight Is Killing Your Progress (Hard Truth)
Description
It’s easy to avoid the stuff that actually builds you up—especially if you’re only training from fight to fight.
You’re in the groove, your bread-and-butter combos are sharp… until you touch the awkward stuff.
But that “awkward stuff”? That’s where the real gains are.
When I spoke with Professor Tony Myers—a legend in the world of Muay Thai—he shared something crucial:
Skills are perishable. They come and go. You don’t just ‘have’ them. You’ve got to keep developing—mentally and physically. Otherwise, they slip.
Too many fighters think training hard for six weeks before a fight will solve everything.
It won’t.
Still just training fight to fight? This episode will show you what you’re missing.
