Most training looks solid — right up until pressure shows up.

In this episode, I break down why so many capable, well-trained men fail under stress — not because they're weak, but because their training never accounted for how the nervous system actually behaves when things are already wrong.

We'll talk about why techniques disappear, why confidence collapses, and why many training environments accidentally reinforce habits that don't survive chaos.

This isn't a critique of effort or intention. It's a reality check about context.

Real violence doesn't happen when you're ready. It happens when you're surprised, overloaded, and out of time.

If your preparation doesn't account for that, it won't hold up when you need it most.
