1
Everyone thinks sparring is essential in martial arts, but the world's greatest fighters have stopped doing it.
2
I think you don't have to spar anymore.
3
We don't spar as much, you know.
4
I don't spar heavy anymore.
5
I haven't sparred since T-Bow.
6
Now I don't spar at all.
7
Donald Cerrone was doing that.
8
He wasn't sparring at all.
9
It was just not a lot of sparring at all.
10
Max Holloway, his last fight didn't spar at all.
11
Tom Breeze, he's the same way.
12
Because they've discovered something safer and more effective.
13
It's crazy how many guys I've seen that left their career in the gyms.
14
Every sparring for them, it's about winning the round.
15
You cannot improve like this.
16
Or should I say, rediscovered.
17
Because this ancient training method precedes mankind itself.
18
Today, you'll learn what it is, why it works, and how you can do it yourself.
19
Now, there's no denying that classical sparring is important.
20
For all the movies showing old masters breaking boards and pummeling dummies, eventually, you need to try your skills on a real opponent.
21
Because without pressure testing, you won't know if your techniques actually work.
22
Imagine having to use your skills in real life, only to realize that everything you've been taught flies out the window the minute you encounter actual resistance,
23
and there's no better way to prepare for that chaos than sparring.
24
The problem is most people are sparring the wrong way, and this graph explains why.
25
And its explanation lies in the animal kingdom.
26
When a puppy chases a ball, he unconsciously trains himself to chase prey.
27
When bear cubs wrestle with each other, they actually simulate hunting.
28
And when a lion cub does this, he's really practicing how to kill.
29
To the animals, it just feels like playing, because that's what it is.
30
But here's where it gets interesting for you.
31
Because studies show that playing reduces cortisol, also known as the stress hormone, but at the same time, it increases dopamine, or the pleasure hormone.
32
Both of these hormones are directly associated with something called neuroplasticity, which is a fancy word for learning.
33
You see, if your cortisol levels are high and your dopamine levels are low, your ability to learn is impaired because you're in the infamous fight or flight mind state,
34
which negatively impacts memory and learning.
35
But it's the exact opposite when you're in a state of play.
36
It's like Dr. Huberman from Stanford University says, How can I keep my brain young?
37
How can I continue to learn?
38
How can I get better in school, in sport, in life, in relationships, et cetera?
39
What you need to do is return to the same sorts of practices
40
and tools that your nervous system naturally used and
41
that evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to trigger this thing that we call neuroplasticity.
42
And that is why all animals play.
43
Because it directly puts your brain in the optimal state for skill development.
44
And you are an animal too.
45
When you were a kid, no one told you to climb trees.
46
You weren't thinking about how it developed your body awareness, how it made you stronger, more coordinated.
47
You were just playing.
48
Because Because that's how all humans learn about the world and themselves.
49
Even though you've grown up, nothing's changed.
50
In fact, a classical Dutch text entitled Homo Ludens, or The Playing Man, argues that play is fundamental to all thriving societies.
51
Because life itself is a game, and we're always playing, whether we like it or not.
52
But there's a right way, and a wrong way, to play.
53
Let's look at that graph again.
54
On the x-axis, we're measuring your systemic arousal, your fight or flight.
55
But on the Y axis, we're measuring performance.
56
When we're not very stimulated, our performance sucks.
57
But if we're exposed to too much pressure, our performance goes to crap again.
58
In other words, fear and stress are terrible motivators, because they kill our ability to learn and think.
59
That's why the best fighters don't approach sparring as fighting, but as serious play.
60
For instance, Muay Thai fighters always spar very lightly, allowing the fighters to focus on movement, timing, distance and technique.
61
This often resembles a dance more than a fight.
62
Yet Thai boxers are considered some of the toughest fighters on the planet.
63
And they're not alone.
64
Listen to what MMA expert Firas Zahabi says about the Cuban boxing team.
65
Cubans are the top boxers.
66
They consistently win gold medals, but in practice room they're playful.
67
Nobody gets hurt.
68
You ever see Cubans sparring?
69
There are like 50 guys in a room.
70
They're just touch firing.
71
There's no headgear.
72
They have a more playful attitude
73
Play keeps your cortisol at bay while refining your mind body and technique
74
Plus it saves your brain cells for
75
when it actually matters It's like UFC fighter Steven Thompson told me You got a lot of gyms out there
76
that go out there They put their gear on and they try
77
and knock each other out I've been to some gyms where
78
I've literally had to fend for my life We got doctors
79
and lawyers that I train with
80
and they can't afford to be going back to work with black eyes and broken noses Believe it or not,
81
the best fighters even manage to keep the spirit of play in competition, not just training.
82
They don't play because they're great.
83
They're great because they play.
84
But of course, we have the opposite end of the spectrum as well.
85
I'm not afraid of nobody.
86
Mike Tyson wasn't playing around.
87
Neither was Khabib Nurmagomedov, who literally grew up wrestling with bears.
88
They became the world's greatest with a kill or be killed approach.
89
And yeah, that works too.
90
But at what cost?
91
Look at this stuff.
92
This is history here.
93
This is garbage.
94
I can say I bled for garbage.
95
For most of us, this is not practical in the long term, because it lacks the F word.
96
That's right, I'm talking about fun.
97
When you're having fun, you're more likely to stick with your training.
98
And that's how you accumulate the famous 10,000 hours needed to achieve mastery.
99
Yet, think about how most of our training experience is set up.
100
Lots of emphasis on the right way of doing things when we do things the wrong way, a whole lot of correction.
101
Because the focus is on winning and avoiding the fatal mistakes that could cost us victory.
102
Now, if you're thinking, duh, yeah Jesse, that's the whole idea, then I want you to meet James Karrs.
103
Back in 1987, he wrote a book called Finite and Infinite Games.
104
Karrs said that the idea in finite games is to get to the end and declare the winner, but in an infinite game, the idea is to keep the game going indefinitely.
105
So instead of being laser focused on winning, people who pursue an infinite game see everything as an ongoing process, with lots of discoveries and learning along the way.
106
In other words, winning is playing, and playing is winning.
107
So, if you think of sparring as an infinite game, you give yourself room to experiment, to try new things, and be a creative problem solver.
108
It's like Albert Einstein said, playing is the highest form of research.
109
But playing doesn't mean you're avoiding hard work.
110
This is serious play, because you don't want to waste your time down here.
111
You want to remain competitive to grow and develop.
112
That's why even in military training there will be lots of play.
113
They use simulators, mock battles and mission exercises all the time,
114
all of which are serious games because you're trying to put them in a situation where they can maximize learning
115
without the consequences of actual battle.
116
That's why the alpha male lion almost never hunts himself, because he knows the risks.
117
And the same goes for alpha fighters.
118
I think you don't have to spar anymore.
119
In several interviews, UFC fighter Max Holloway admits to giving up traditional sparring altogether.
120
We know how to punch someone, you know how to slip a punch, why are you gonna take unnecessary damage?
121
But this approach doesn't stop Max from fighting and even winning.
122
The crazy thing is, people are calling him a coward.
123
This is just proof that people have learned to fight the wrong way.
124
Think about this, how many of your gym buddies stopped training after getting injured or having bad sparring session?
125
Most likely, they were focused on surviving, rather than fighting.
126
Playing, on the other hand, eliminates unnecessary injuries and leaves us only with learning.
127
Because it allows you to safely fail, to try new things and put what you know into practice.
128
The problem is, when ego comes into play.
129
You see, some fighters want to prove that they're better than others.
130
This leads them to hit harder, which triggers the other fighter to hit back twice as hard.
131
A fun spar now ends up as a bra and nobody is learning anything.
132
So what's the right way to do it?
133
Well, rule number one is to see losing as winning.
134
Because your opponent might be better than you or you might have a bad day.
135
But that doesn't have to mean that you suck.
136
Rather, it's a lesson.
137
Ask yourself, what did this round teach me that I needed to learn?
138
Because learning is also winning.
139
Secondly, you should be comfortable letting your guard down at any point.
140
And the same goes for your opponent.
141
You should be able to get hit without the risk of injury.
142
Otherwise, you're sparring too hard and you won't be able to take risks.
143
No risk, no reward.
144
Third, you should be able to do great rounds even with people who have less experience, are weaker or smaller than you, rather than taking advantage of your size and abilities.
145
Try to adapt and work on specific skills depending on who you face.
146
This could include switching stances, changing levels, or working on weak spots.
147
Nobody is dominating and both are developing.
148
Fourth, don't save sparring for last.
149
Rather, try to do it at the beginning of your training session, because that's when your mind and body is sharp.
150
And fifth, don't stick to your favorite old combinations, even if they're scoring.
151
Instead, try to implement new techniques.
152
Yes, you're likely to fail, that's fine.
153
Because the goal of playing is not to win, but to keep learning.
154
And the day you stop learning, is the day you stop living.
155
This is what the world's greatest fighters believe.
156

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
