About the event
The Problem: We’ve all been there: You finish a sparring match, tired and sweaty, knowing you got hit but unsure how or why. Or perhaps you watch footage of your tournament matches only to see a blur of action, struggling to pull out meaningful lessons beyond "I need to be faster." Without a structured way to analyze our performance, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes.
The Solution: In this workshop, we treat the fight not just as an athletic event, but as a data set waiting to be decoded. You will learn how to break down exchanges using analytical frameworks, moving from subjective feelings to objective facts. We will identify the difference between a "Technical Error" (your hands were low) and a "Tactical Error" (you chose the wrong moment), and give you the tools to fix both.
What You Will Learn:
The "Fact-Finding" Protocol: A step-by-step method to determine what happened.
The 4 Pillars Framework: How to diagnose what the failure was. Structural (mechanics), Tempo, Cover, Line, Measure, Tactics, or Strategy.
The "Robot Response": How to identify your own automatic habits and subconscious triggers that opponents are exploiting.
From Analysis to Action: How to take a specific mistake from a match and write a "Prescription" drill to fix it in your next training session.
Video Lab: We will apply these tools in real-time by analyzing footage, teaching you how to watch a fight with a coach's eye—replaying the same exchange with different "lenses" to catch details you missed.
Who is this for? This workshop is open to all skill levels. It is especially valuable for students preparing for tournaments, looking to break through a training plateau, or those interested in coaching and instruction.
