Technique Over Strength in Sparring

Training martial arts with my friends completely changed how I see combat sports.

I always thought it was about being the strongest or fastest person in the room.

But after getting submitted by someone half my size, I realized technique beats strength every

single time. Now when we spar, I focus on precision instead of power. My defense improved,

my cardio got better, and honestly, the humility you gain from getting your ass kicked

by your homies builds character. If you're not training with people who challenge you,

you're just wasting time. Find friends who push you past your limits and watch

yourself level up in ways you never expected.
