Mindset is everything.
Never give up:
When you are exhausted and about to puke keep going never quite. I use lots of PIDs (puke inducing drills).
When you get the wind knocked out of you from a hard thrust kick or hook to the ribs or a sims round hits you on the cheek under your face mask and your eye begins to swell keep on fighting. You don’t get to many chances in training to make the choices between quitting, lying down and dieing or staying in the fight so you should take advantage of each and every opportunity to train it.
Every time you hit the pads or shoot your gun do so with 100% emotional commitment to ill-intent and maximal damage. Aggressiveness will often make up for lack of a imperfectly executed technique.
To me the combat mindset is the guy who has his hand on his gun (still holstered in its normal concealed carry position) saying to himself if that motherfucker takes one step closer “I am going to draw and shoot him to the ground” that’s the guy who will be the winner of the fight.
It's all about the WILLINGNESS!
