127 - Why Techniques Never Work on the Day They're Shown (and How to Fix That)
About this episode
OK, so you've just learned a cool new technique that you're pretty sure is the Kryptonite you need to defeat your hardest sparring partner. But then you crash and burn when you try it out in sparring - he ignores your move, passes your guard, smashes you flat and taps you out. What's going on? In this episode I break down exactly why techniques NEVER work on the day they're shown, and the simple steps you need to make that killer technique functional as fast as humanly possible.
