I decided to use a picture of MMA star Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto because I feel that he embodies what it means to have “inner game”, not just because he fights for a living, but the guy is a legitimate badass, in and outside the ring.
So what does it mean to have inner game? Well, typically inner game incorporates several aspects of confidence, strength, and experience/wisdom. Some of the guys that I feel that have mastered this well are guys like David DeAngelo and Hypnotica. I suggest you check some of their stuff out as it will certainly improve your inner game.
Now you’ve probably heard women say that confidence is sexy; well, it IS! Picture two scenarios of two guys of equal looks and style, except that one guy utilizes eye contact when he speaks to women, and the other one doesn’t. Now which one do you think would get better results? The first guy of course.
Asian guys for some odd reason find it hard to make eye contact; I’m not saying that ALL do, but for the most part, especially the ones that I’ve met, struggle with this. This problem may be cause from family issues, as it is sometimes disrespectful to look directly at your parents in the eye, especially during disciplinary practices by the Asian parent.
So develop your inner game as it will be the fundamentals to everything you’ll learn from now on; without it, the “techniques” or “routines” will have no bearing whatsoever.
