Martial Attitude Voice Mathias Alberton

Martial Attitude Training and my MSc in Applied Sport Psychology research are happening! And they are introduced and complemented by a new series of short podcasts exploring how touch, exercise, and confidence are perceived in the visually impaired and blind community. The first guest is Takashi, a professional viola player based in London. He explains to us how there is a good and bad way to touch and be touched.

His nickname comes from his former trainer's pistol. More recently, he has been called "miracle man" by the international sport press following a grave accident occurred during his last fight on May 27th, 2023. Ludumo Lamati is a South African professional boxer aged 31, now retiring.

He always fought without fear, because "fear is a liar", as he clearly states in this exceptional Martial Attitude podcast episode upon fear and anxiety in the world of professional boxing.

He held the IBO super bantamweight title from June 2021 to May 2022. As an amateur, he competed at the 2011 World Championships and lost just 10 fights over nearly 200. As a professional boxer, he holds a record of 23 fight, with 21 wins (11 KOs), 1 draw, and 1 loss.

As mentioned above, the one loss was during his last fight in Belfast, Northern Ireland, for the WBC silver featherweight title against Nick Ball. In a dramatic chain of events, Lamati's corner dropped the towel at 2' 15" of the 12th round. Moments after, Ludumo collapsed because of a brain bleed and was hospitalized and was taken care of in induced coma for several days before, miraculously, waking up and recovering.

Ludumo Lamati knows. Listen to his precious teaching.

He knows no fear, and he is coming to take it all.

The man is Chris "2slick" Mbwakongo (Kongo), English professional boxer in the welterweight division with an important record of 14 wins (2 KOs) and 2 losses.

Chris has a plan. He does not fail the plan. With the plan, there is no fear. Fear is not even contemplated, because it is not anywhere near the plan.

The championship is in the making and he has signed to Boxxer and Sky Sports. You better keep looking for him.

Would you guess what he thinks the difference between anxiety and fear being? Listen to him very carefully, then.
