Warning UFC spoiler

Khabib’s best quality the reason I liked him the most was  composure and the ability to control his emotions. And he pissed that  down the drain 

People say shit about me, my politics, my family,  my lack of religion, where I live, how I look, all that shit like every  day. (Because I put myself out there) There are major newspapers  trashing me and websites devoted to slandering my name. None of it  bothers me not to a point of getting physical. I laugh at most of it. I  like to think martial arts training is  why. But now days, the Japanese philosophy has been stripped. All they  do is teach you the techniques and none of the respectfulness that comes  with it. Japanese will refuse to teach arrogant or egotistical people. 

 It’s about mind and body. Mind is first. They are not training like  that any more. It’s all just combat. That’s fight training it’s not  martial arts training. People used to crap on kata and say that’s not  helping you fight. Your right. The purpose is simply and act of self  discipline, learning and memorizing a long series of movements and  preforming it in public isn’t about the fight side. It’s about self  discipline not motivated by the desire to be a bad ass. It’s not to help  your combat. It’s to help you avoid getting into combat in the first  place. The other aspect of training are for fighting. Khabib after  acting like fool said something true, the media has created a reward  system for trash talk and degeneracy. 

All this bowing and ritual  isn’t just for tradition. It’s a series of respectful acts that must be  done because they minimize escalation. Not bowing/touching gloves at  the start is not just “no big deal” it’s a slippery slope. These rituals  were put in place with a purpose. I would never let my students behave  that way. (All my students are adults). When people hate each other is  when it’s the most important to do it. It tells them suck it up for a  few seconds and remember you’re not the center of the universe. Show  respect to the combat itself.
