Of course you will lose some fights, every fighter does (you might lose a lot), but you should always be fiercely competitive, even if the fight isn’t close, you should still give it your all.Too many times I read blogs and posts where people say cliché lines about how they are happy to just fight for the experience win or lose, something I don’t agree with it. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you should never lose. You should never be happy to just survive a fight, you should always go out to win. People who are not competitive are happy with losses. They are always game for competition and will always be ready for any challenge that stands in front of them.Being a competitor will make you hate losing. Win or lose, a fierce competitor is going to put up a fight. Instead of looking for excuses as to why they lost the fight, they will find a way to get better for the next fight. A competitive fighter is someone who will find a way to win, no matter what the circumstances. If you want to make sure that nobody ever questions your “heart,” make sure you follow these points.įierce competitors have a number of attributes that set them apart from other people. Your skill and record is not a factor when it comes to your “heart.”While there is no one single word that can describe the meaning of heart, I will attempt to define the “heart” by using 4 key points. Just because a fighter has a very good winning record does not mean they have a lot of “Heart.” You will often find that fighters with 50/50 win ratios have some of the biggest “Hearts” ever. The record of a fighter does not determine their heart. A Thai fighter’s heart is everything he has. Having a lot of “Heart” will carry a fighter through the toughest of battles, often propelling them to victories that were unlikely. It is the one thing that all the best Muay Thai fighters pride themselves on. It has nothing to do with whether you are the best in the world or one of the worst, it’s all about your level of commitment, your passion and what you leave I that ring.” – Kevin Ross (Talking about having “Heart”) What I respect is the ones that go in there and give it there all.
I’ve realized that there are plenty of cowards that get in there just so they can call themselves ‘fighters’. “I used to say that I had respect for anyone that had the balls to step foot in the ring but over the years that has changed. It is the equivalent of telling a bodybuilder “you’re looking small” or telling a filmmaker that his film sucks.Someone I know summed it up perfectly with the line, “you can teach technique and skill to a beginner, but you can’t teach heart.” A Thai trainer would much rather work with someone they feel is unskilled and has ugly technique, but has a “BIG HEART” over the most skilled fighter in the world with a small heart.
