Chapter 5 - Kus\\\' Boxing Philosophy
Damato’s praise is like the flooding of the Yellow River. Tyson even feels that this **** coach, the previous tough gestures are all posed.
Thousands of thousands of people don’t wear them.
The impression that Damato gave Tyson was really good.
Even in his entire life, he has never heard anyone praise him like this.
The lunch prepared by Carmel was very rich, and it was so rich that Tyson didn’t know how to talk.
Steak, various jams, bread, vegetable salad …
The large table was filled with food.
Tyson is growing up, and the food intake is not large.
Soon he entered the gobbling mode.
“I like this kid!” Damato said.
Stewart smiled and shrugged: “There is never any etiquette in this medley.”
“He likes me and here, so he can let go.”
Damato can see that Tyson really likes it.
In the afternoon, Kus D’Amato did not return to the training hall, but chatted with Tyson.
Throughout the afternoon, several of them did nothing, just sat under the maple tree and chatted.
Before leaving, D’Amato gave Tyson a thick ‘boxing encyclopedia’, and a bunch of carefully selected roses.
“He likes you very much, if you can maintain the style of the camp, then you will have great development in the future.”
On the way back, Stewart spoke.
Tyson can hear it, he is happy for himself.
This is a heartfelt joy.
“thank you.”
After returning to the camp, Tyson found several plastic bottles. After filling the plastic bottles with water, the roses were stocked inside.
After the roses are set, the whole room becomes no longer the same.
“Wow, Mike, is this your rose?”
Bach just entered the room exclaimed.
“Yes, it was given to me by a respectable old man.”
Tyson appreciates his masterpiece.
Bach showed a yearning look: “That must be a very kind old man.”
The opposite is true. It is a person who always has a serious expression but likes to praise others.
Thyson thought.
In the evening, after he and Bach finished their fitness, he lay on his bed and looked at the thick boxing encyclopedia.
Books contain almost all the contents of boxing, origin, development history, and those enviable and yearning fighters.
Benny Leonard, Harry Greber, Jack Johnson, etc.
Their training is very hard and boring, but they can find fun in it, and eventually become a powerful boxer and even a world-famous fighter.
Their leisure time is enviable, they have generous remuneration, and boxing fans will treat them like God.
Almost all night, Tyson was addicted to this boxing encyclopedia.
In this book, he learned a lot.
Boxing is not about hitting people on stage or being beaten. It contains a kind of spirit and self-representation. It represents the courage to fight and confront powerful enemies.
No one can do it in a flash, and no one is born a king.
He liked the sentence inside, ‘The eternal diamond is not as bright as the glory of the King. ’
There are many truths in the book, and Tyson didn’t fully understand it for more than one night.
In the days to come, Tyson once again restored the previous tranquility.
Monday to Friday, he will follow Stewart for training. On Friday night, Stewart will drive him to Cus Damato’s house.
Friday and Saturday, Tyson will follow Teddy’s practice in the training hall, and then stay at Kus’s house overnight.
There are four people living in his family now. He himself, as well as his girlfriend Camille, young trainer Teddy in the training hall, and a boxer Loki.
Kus didn’t let him practice boxing at home, but sat and chatted together.
Will talk about how he and Teddy practice together, and Tyson’s emotions, and even talk about the psychology of boxing.
It can be said that chatting with Kus is basically talking about some spiritual things.
These are things he had not been in contact with in the previous life.
“If you are not a warrior mentally, then no matter how strong you are, you will never become a real boxer.”
Kus’s words are thought-provoking and deeply immersed.
Tyson understands that Kus is to mentally make him a real giant.
Through the coach, Tyson has a deeper understanding of Kus, and Kus is open to this.
Kus also grew up in a difficult environment. When he was young, he was also a gangster on the street.
“Fear is always the boxer who needs to know the most, but fear can also be your friend.” Kus’s ever serious face became more serious.
“Fear is like fire, you have to learn to control it, so that it can be your help, help you overcome difficulties, if you can’t control it, then it will devour you and everything around you, burning you to ashes . “
“It’s like a small snowball on a snowy mountain. When it starts to roll down, you can pick it up and use it to do whatever you want. If you don’t control it, it will roll more and more. Big, eventually it will overwhelm your endurance limit, so that you can no longer control, and finally crush you to death. “
“So, the boxer can never let the fear continue to develop, and let the fear increase without control. If you can’t do this in the end, you can’t reach your goal, or even save your life.”
“Think about it, you are a deer walking into an open area. When you are close to the forest, instinct will tell you that there is an unforeseen danger in front. When you step into the forest, there will be a lion waiting for you in the front. It needs Your flesh and blood to maintain the nutrition of the lion. “
“When this happens, the instinct to survive will have an effect. Fear will let adrenaline enter the blood. It will make your deer ’s heart beat faster, the blood will flow faster, and the body will become more flexible and powerful. . “
“A deer can usually jump half a meter, but epinephrine can make you jump to 1.5 meters away in the first step, giving you a great living space and escape the danger in front of you.”
“The same is true of human beings. When faced with possible injuries or threats, fear will arise, and epinephrine will also enter your blood and heart. Under its effect, you will be able to show superhuman strength.”
“Mike, do you know the difference between a hero and a coward?”
Tyson thought about it and said, “Is the difference between a hero and a coward reflected in the way to deal with fear?”
Kus nodded with satisfaction: “Heroes and cowards are essentially indistinguishable. The difference is their methods and choices. When faced with danger, heroes and cowards will also be surrounded by fear, but their choices are indeed There is a big difference. “
“The hero will choose the discipline he has always carried out to do what the hero has to do. The coward will only escape the danger as quickly as possible. He will not care about other people or other things.”
“Mind is not a friend, Mike. To understand this, you have to fight your mind all the time. You have to control it and let them settle down. You have to control your emotions on the ring. Nine of Chengdu ’s fatigue comes from psychological pressure. Those who want to back down will always find excuses, wo n’t they? ”
“You can’t sleep peacefully the night before the game starts, and likewise, your opponent will not be so comfortable. When weighing, he may be stronger than you and look more calm, you feel He’s as cold as ice, but you can’t see through the torture of fear in his heart. “
“If you act in addition to your weakness, then he will have a strong strength that he should not have. If you act fearlessly and have a psychological advantage, then he will be under greater pressure and his strength will become Weak wins. “
“You remember, the dynamic will ease the tension.”
“The moment the bell rings, you will show your gentlemanly manner and will come together to touch your gloves, but the next moment, all your imagination will disappear, you and your opponent become real boxers, boxing has become The only reality. “
“If you can master your will, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com then you will control your opponents and everyone present, you have mastered the reality and became a superman on the boxing ring!”
In this way, Kus was able to speak continuously into the middle of the night, letting people fall into it and understand the psychological importance.
He will also tell Tyson that instinctively, it is very important not to be affected by any outside world.
Only when the mind is relaxed, can the emotions and reactions affect the boxing instinct.
“Mike, I talked about boxing with the famous writer Norman Mailer, and some of my understanding of boxing, Mailer said to me: Hey, Kus, you may not have realized that you are He is practicing Zen Dao. Later he also gave me a copy of “Zen Dao in Archery”. I like this book very much. You can read it when you have time. It will definitely give you more insight. “
“When I was young, I trained in a boxing gym in New York. I wanted to be a professional boxer. I practiced against sandbags for half a month. On that day, the manager asked me: Are you willing to play against others? I agreed without hesitation. “
“When I stood on the boxing ring, my heart was like drumming. I was terribly nervous. The ringing of the game had been ringing, and the opponent began to attack me constantly. I was in an absolute disadvantage. Soon my My nose was swollen, my eyes were swollen, and blood was constantly flowing out. My opponent asked me: Boy, do you still want to play the second round? I said: I still want to try it. “
“I stood on the boxing platform again, and suddenly I felt that my soul and body had been separated, as if I could look at myself from afar, the opponent’s fist was like a fist from a far away, fist When I hit me, the feeling is as if the body can’t feel it, but the soul can realize those attacks. “
