[@avancalledrupert5130]

I learned to strike from a book . I had a few sparing sessions was getting battered . Didn't really understand what anyone was trying to tell me . Went to the library and found a book on boxing technique . It had really over exaggerated diagrams of the lead heal lifting as you step into the jab and the rear heal lifting for the cross and the knee turning in . It had birds eye view drawings of footwork . I practiced in the mirror went back and spared on the lvl of people who had done it for a couple years . If you can visualize yourself doing it in your head you are over halfway to doing it in real life . I honestly find it easier to learn something in my own mind from raw data than having someone try actively teach me . To progress further I just watched all Lenox Lewis fights and copied him exactly .

[@mcswagginz]

I remember years ago i was driving in the winter, approaching an intersection on a slightly curved road. When I pressed on the break I started sliding sideways on some ice hidden under the snow. Adrenaline instantly surged but there was no panic, just focus. As I slid towards a potential crash, I did a complex series of light gas taps and break taps, while doing some counter steering but making sure not to over correct and lose control in a fish tail. Regained control and avoided a crash by a few inches. It was like a dozen thoughts happened in 5 seconds. Immediately after, I kept analyzing it over and over again in shock at how the fuck I knew those driving moves. Then I realized... years of playing Gran Turismo A-spec as a kid was burrowed in my subconscious lol. Getting your rally license in that game is hard but getting your Super license is an insane challenge and I remember dedicating so many hours to acquiring it lol. If a game has realistic physics, it absolutely can help build real world skill.
