In the first chapter of The Brain and Combat: Brain Science in Grappling Competition, we discuss the specifics of choosing a martial art for certain mental cards and the details of a how-to-win strategy. We go through how your relevant personality cards can be discovered, how they work together, and what level of mental training is required to make a win out of them. You will leave this chapter with a clear understanding of how your tournament performance is impacted by your natural mental design and how to set yourself up to win if you've chosen grappling or mixed martial arts.
