Everyone talks about fearing failure — but what about when you actually succeed?

Winning changes everything. The pressure shifts. The expectations double.

This episode explores why success is often more destabilizing than loss — and how to fight through the identity crisis that follows.

🎙️ You trained for the win. But did you train for what comes after?

You’re not a striker. Or a grappler. Or a “disciplined karate guy.”

You’re a person using a system — and if you’re not careful, that system becomes a cage.

In this episode, we break down how over-identifying with a style limits growth — and how to train like an adaptive operator, not a brand.

🎙️ Change your style. Keep your principles.

You don’t need a passport to train like a foreigner.

Whether you’re stepping into a gym in Thailand or a new job in your hometown, the mindset is the same: less ego, more awareness.

This episode breaks down 5 core principles you learn when you train outside your comfort zone — and how to apply them in real life.

🎙️ Adapt before you perform. Learn the rhythm before you try to lead.

The scroll is blank. The power was never out there — it was always in you.

This short talk breaks down one of the simplest but deepest martial principles from Kung Fu Panda: belief, presence, and the myth of “readiness.”

Because sometimes, you don’t need more time. You just need to stop waiting.

Yes, we’re talking about Kung Fu Panda — and no, it’s not a joke.

This episode breaks down the surprisingly deep fight philosophy hidden in the story of Po, Master Shifu, and Tai Lung. From mastering presence to letting go of ego, from embracing your “weaknesses” to realizing the scroll is blank — the lessons hit harder than you’d expect.

Because sometimes, the most powerful martial truth is this:

There is no secret ingredient. It’s just you.

Before the first strike, the real battle is already decided — inside your mind.
In this episode, we dive into the philosophy of Yagyū Munenori, the samurai strategist who taught that true strength isn't about aggression — it's about clarity, stillness, and choosing your battles with precision.
Fight smarter. Move sharper. Master yourself.

Alexander Volkanovski got knocked out, questioned, and counted out. Then he came back and said, “Adversity is a privilege.” This short talk breaks down what that really means — not just in the cage, but in how we deal with failure, pressure, and the stories we tell ourselves.

After getting knocked out cold and questioned by the world, Alexander Volkanovski didn’t vanish—he rebuilt. This episode breaks down what makes Volk different: his mindset, his method, and why adversity isn’t just something to survive, but something to use. From rugby tank to featherweight king, Volkanovski shows us what it means to choose your identity and fight forward.

This isn’t about hype. It’s about principles.

A short, informal conversation on how The Art of War still shapes the way we fight, think, and lead today. From knowing yourself to creating the conditions for victory, Sun Tzu’s wisdom lives on—even far beyond the battlefield.

This mini-episode explores:

• Strategy vs. chaos

• Calm over emotion

• Why clarity matters more than aggression

Quiet reflections. Big impact.

This week on FightPrinciples, we go back 2,500 years to the original fight strategist: Sun Tzu.
His work, The Art of War, is more than ancient philosophy—it’s a playbook for modern warriors, martial artists, and anyone navigating high-stakes moments in life.

We break down his most powerful principles:

• Why stillness beats panic

• How knowing yourself is a martial art

• And how the smartest fighters win before the first strike is thrown

Whether you’re in a cage, a ring, or a Monday meeting—The Art of War still applies.
Listen, reflect, and prepare to sharpen your strategy.
