Strength From Within, Vol. 3: Fight IQ (Early Bird)

YOU’VE DRILLED IT. YOU KNOW IT. SO WHY CAN’T YOU USE IT WHEN YOU NEED IT?

Strength From Within Vol. 3 explores the science behind how fighters read, decide and adapt when the pressure is real.

We’re releasing the first 50 Vol. 3 tickets at the Early Bird price of $24.99. After that, tickets increase to $29.99.

Speakers will be revealed one by one in the lead-up to the event.
Early Bird is for those who want the lowest price before the full line-up is announced.

You get hit hard. There’s suddenly too much to focus on. You start thinking instead of reacting. The thing you’ve done hundreds of times in training doesn’t come out.

Or Plan A stops working, and you can’t find Plan B fast enough.

Fight IQ gets talked about constantly in combat sports. We want to understand what actually sits underneath it.

• How do fighters recognize what’s happening in front of them?
• How do they access what they’ve trained when the pressure is real?
• How do they make decisions while managing fatigue, fear and uncertainty?
• And how do they adapt while the fight is still moving?

Strength From Within Vol. 3: The Science Behind Fight IQ brings together experts from skill acquisition, psychology, combat sports coaching and performance to explore what’s actually happening in those moments.

Live Tuesday, 6 October.
Full replay included with every ticket.

EARLY BIRD: $24.99 USD

Regular price: $29.99 USD

SOUND FAMILIAR?

We asked fighters and martial artists what gets in the way of their Fight IQ.

49% said: I overthink it in the moment.
27% said: What I drill doesn’t transfer.
17% said: I can’t adapt mid-fight.

And when we asked what else gets in the way, we heard:

“There’s too much to focus on.”
“I lose my flow state every time I get hit hard enough. Then I start overthinking.”
“Fear is the biggest factor.”
“Ring comfort and experience.”
“The pressure to perform.”

Vol. 3 is built around those questions and observations.

THE LINE-UP

Three sessions. Three parts of the Fight IQ problem.

Speakers will be revealed one by one in the lead-up to the event.
Early Bird is for those who want the lowest price before the full line-up is announced.

First guest announced this week (week of 24 August). And it's big  👀

01: LEARN

Why doesn’t what I drill always transfer?

• How fighters learn to recognize what’s actually happening in front of them

• Why knowing a technique and being able to find it in a live exchange are different things

• What separates recognizing a situation from responding to it in time

• How the way you practise shapes what you’re able to perceive and use under pressure

02: ACCESS

Why do I start overthinking in the moment?

• What happens when there suddenly feels like there’s too much to focus on

• Why skills that feel automatic in training can disappear when the pressure rises

• What happens to attention when you get hit, get tired or start doubting yourself

• How consciously controlling a movement can interfere with something you already know how to do

03: ADAPT

What happens when Plan A stops working?

• Why some fighters recognize change quickly while others get stuck

• How fighters re-organize when the original read is wrong

• What fatigue, fear, and uncertainty do to the options you can see

• How experience changes your ability to find another answer while the fight is still happening

PLUS: THE FULL PANEL + LIVE Q&A

After the individual sessions, all three guests come together for a moderated conversation exploring how learning, attention, decision-making and adaptation connect inside a real fight.

Then we open the floor to you.

Bring your questions and ask the speakers live.
