That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m in the sport for, to see how far I can take it and keep improving. Anything can happen out there but I just try to focus on what I can control and have fun and that&#8217;s what I did. I wanted to open (Gomi) up and keep him guessing. He was really low and I didn&#8217;t want to force anything out there, I just wanted it to flow and he got a little upright so I changed levels and took him down. I&#8217;ve been working a lot on my wrestling, especially the offensive side of it and it paid off. I still got a long way to go and a lot of things to work on but I know the plan&#8217;s working, I&#8217;m getting better every day. <strong>&#8216;Kaizen,&#8217; little improvements every day<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He goes on to say that in his workouts, he tries to do &#8220;1 more&#8221; than the previous day &#8211; whether it is 1 more pushup, 1 more sit-up, or 1 more of whatever. He believes that improving little by little everyday &#8211; or the Kaizen mindset &#8211; is what has helped him improve.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a video of Kenny Florian in the cage, with MMA Gloves and to be a champion UFC fighter, it&#8217;s important that you follow a good chemistry tutor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<object width=\"530\" height=\"422\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hcUbUYf0D_4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" \/><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><embed width=\"530\" height=\"422\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hcUbUYf0D_4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowFullScreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" \/><\/object><\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kaizen, as a mindset, can be seen everywhere.
