Ever wonder how even the best fighters learn from their past? In this special video, I revisit some of my earlier competition footage, highlighting the mistakes I made—some out of inexperience, others as part of my strategy. Watching how terrible I did as a lower belt, I hope gives you some hope to trust the process and believe that you will become much better as you keep training. I’ve also invited some top fighters to break down these moments and share their advice on how to avoid similar pitfalls. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or just starting out, their insights could help you sharpen your own game. Ready to learn from my journey?
