Great Street Boxers Need Backup

Great Street Boxers Need Backup

You are not in street boxing, or competing, just to please your ego. It’s not just for some
purpose; it’s for a corporate mission—others are in it with you. The “others” besides you are
your master-father-trainer, his “sons” in training, the trainer who “fathered” your “father,” and
your future “sons” who will be training under you. All of you are keeping up to maintain
excellence and a reputation.

It’s actually a lineage. A founder up the line mastered fighting in a peculiar way. He
became a champion using a style of his own boxing for the street, and he had a secret formula for coming up with such a winning style. He had trained other selected few in this style, who also trained others. These
others did likewise, and so on. You may find yourself somewhere down the line, and soon your
turn to add to this lineage would come. Now, all of you in this lineage all fight for a common
cause: To keep this peculiar style the champion of all boxing styles.
It’s really a battle of fighting styles. Filipinos have a different style of boxing compared
to how the Chinese, Japanese, or Thais do.

However, the style develops and evolves, takes new forms, and comes out better than
before. Due to the philosophy of aiming to be better, the style becomes updated due to the
changing needs of the real arena, the real boxing field “out there.”

Hence, you will see that being an top fighter is really a corporate or joint task done
individually by members of a particular lineage style. You can just watch the difference of how
basketball was played by a team ten years ago, and then by new members of the same team ten
years hence.

You will also hear or read from sports commentators how boxers of a particular
country take on a peculiar style and seem undefeated for a number of seasons, until another
group of boxers from another country develop their style and come out great champion boxers.

You must bear in mind that being an top fighter means:

1. Cooperating with others with a similar goal and;
2. Committing to a peculiar sports culture and outlook
