In this episode, I sit down with newly crowned Muay Thai champion Eddy Alvarez to break down the mindset, preparation, and inner battles behind his recent title fight win.
We go beyond the ring — diving deep into the philosophies of legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi and his classic warrior manual, The Book of Five Rings. Eddy shares how these teachings apply not only to combat sports, but to life, personal growth, and mental resilience.
Whether you’re a martial artist, athlete, or just someone chasing excellence, this conversation will light a fire under you.
Topics we cover :
How Eddy prepared physically and mentally for his title fight
The highs and lows of fighting under pressure
What The Book of Five Rings taught us about strategy, discipline, and mindset
The spiritual and philosophical side of martial arts
Lessons from Musashi that apply to everyday life
Advice for young fighters and anyone looking for direction
