🥊✈️ Didn't See That Coming...

Hey Warrior,

What’s the craziest thing that you’ve seen?

Once I was sitting at a red light when this guy runs past my car.

Then a few seconds later I see another guy run past my car…

…holding a garbage can over his head!!

I watch as the first guy stops. Turns to face the other guy.

Only to have a trash can thrown at him.

They proceed to throwing a couple of punches in the middle of the road.

Then the chase resumes. 🤷

The unexpected can happen at any time.

You train for the basics, right?

You train for the stuff you expect to see…

… a wild swing

… a sloppy tackle

… some idiot yelling threats he can’t back up.

But life loves a plot twist.

Like the video I watched the other day.

Guy steps up, looks like your standard tough guy nonsense.

But instead of the usual shoving match, he goes full Tekken and opens with a spinning elbow.

Bam!

Drops the other guy cold.

Out before his brain even got the message.

Let’s be honest…

If you’d asked me, “What should I throw first in a street fight?” a spinning elbow wouldn’t exactly make my Top 10 List.

But hey, the streets don’t follow our playbook.

Here’s my point…

You can practice all the drills, memorize all the moves, and still get blindsided by some backyard ninja pulling out moves he learned off YouTube.

That’s why awareness and adaptability matter more than having the “perfect” technique.

Watch it, drop your hot take, and let me know:

• Was it luck or genius?

• Would you ever open with a spinning elbow?

• What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever seen in a real fight?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Stay sharp,
Paul
