Every fighter develops patterns of behavior—but few understand where those patterns come from or how they influence performance under pressure.

In this Learning Series video, Tom Sotis explores the psychological, experiential, and tactical factors that shape the way you fight. Discover how past training, personal preferences, perception, decision-making, and individual tendencies influence your actions, and learn how greater self-awareness can help you overcome limitations and expand your tactical options.

Whether you're a practitioner, instructor, or coach, this video offers a deeper understanding of why you respond the way you do—and how that understanding can lead to more adaptable, effective performance.
