Yea, I'm 6'4, not sure how much Jeff weighs these days, I'm 240. Hey, nobody is mentioning that I took him down, I wants me some props for that, hehehe. Don't want to just be the guy that got tapped! All jokes aside, Jeff is an awesome guy and I appreciate the shot and look forward to a rematch in the future.
For sure. He's also got something you can't train for, experience. I'd love to know how he mentally prepares for his fights and how he keeps from getting that adrenaline dump that makes it so you can't move or think. Not a fun feeling!
You answered your own experience about the adrenaline dump-EXPERIENCE.
That and learning to become EXTEREMELY aware of your own breathing-when you hold your breath,how long you hold it for,how long/sharply you exhaled,how slow/deeply you inhale.
Basically learning to slow yourself down-not going at that 2 minute "wrestling pace" or going at that 2 minute "wrestling pace" and then sliding into a 5 minute grappling pace.
It almost pains me to say this but maybe some gi training might help slow you down AND your breathing?
