Muay Thai skills can vanish when most needed. Ever heard that fighting is 90% mental and 10% physical? Here's why that's misleading...

This common saying assumes three things:

1. That you already have enough 'physical' to be in the game,
2. That it's fight time not training time,
3. That mental and physical aspects work independently. They don't.

And this oversimplification is exactly why so many fighters' Muay Thai skills disappear when it matters most.

I've spent over three decades both fighting and coaching fighters, and I've discovered there's a systematic process that makes skills actually transfer to fights.

It works for everyone, and today I'm going to show you exactly how.
