THE MINDSET OF A STREET BOXER

THE MINDSET OF A STREET BOXER

Being great at street boxing requires a mindset. You must believe in your heart and mind that
you are meant to be an top fighter. This mindset will put a fiery enthusiasm in each of your
training sessions and performances. You will not settle for mediocre results; you will aim for the
best results. Armed with this mindset, you are not just aiming to win competitions. You are
aiming for a generation of top fighters.

Champion athletes, especially from nationalistic countries like the U.S. and Russia
(especially the former U.S.S.R.), have been training hard with the prestige of their country in
mind. Olympic bets are out to compete for posterity.

Nationalistic countries often produce a succession of world class champions because they
train not only to be ace athletes and win for their countries, but they also aim to someday
reproduce boxers of higher caliber.

Not all the international fighters are like-minded. Some boxers are near-sighted
and they focus only on their present win. Once the medal is at hand, they go back to their
countries and celebrate, and then retire.

On one hand, many international fighters can be branded as great at boxing for the street. They start out
young and train under a real master of the boxing. They excel and beat their own excellent records,
and finally come out champions. Then they themselves train others.

On the other hand, not all winners in international fighting are great boxers. They train hard
for the present, even under masters, but lack foresight to live the philosophy of great fighters.
