30 Minutes Of NEW Tristan Tate Lessons

well from a networking standpoint the number one thing you have to remember because I'm now at a stage in my life where a lot of people want to get to know me so I see it from the other end as a younger man I would introduce myself to people and try to get to know them because they were important now I'm on the other side of the equation the main thing to remember is that if you treat people like you're a fan then they're going to treat you like you're one of the fans that's it

if you treat people like a celebrity they're going to treat you like a fan so many years ago even when I was not famous and not even relative successful before I had any money when I would meet famous people I met a few famous actors through my kickboxing you'd speak to them one-on-one like a normal person you'd introduce yourself you'd ask them their name even uh not in an obnoxious way even if you already know what it is and the best way to go about it is when you're working the room and you finally get

face to face with these people do not ask for selfies do not ask for pictures do not act shocked or surprised or like a fan do not worship them when I was sitting with uh that famous rapper the other day just sat down on the couch and we were shooting the [ __ ] manto man for over 45 minutes an hour I didn't ask him about his songs I didn't ask him about his music and we just talk like men so that's the best way to network I guess is that when you finally do get

the opportunity to speak to people speak to them like a normal person otherwise they're never going to take you seriously in terms of your local town if you want to become more of a somebody in your local town which I think is a very important thing to Aspire to do because especially if you're going to stay there for a very long time and especially if you're not perhaps as worldly as me and as as and you're not going to travel as much as I do the number one thing that I like to do in my

hometown and in a new town is to get known in all of the best spots that there are so if you walk into the best restaurant and they already have a table reserved for you 24/7 or the best bar and they've got a spot at the bar reserve for you 24/7 you'll be surprised how many high net worth people who are worth knowing and women will pick up on that you'll be surprised that when the waiters and the valet Parkers and the hotel receptionists know your name and say hello Mr Tate and treat you with

respect uh you'd be surprised how many people pick up on that so tip very heavily one go to the nice places treat every member of Staff with respect and before you know it you'll be better known and more respected in your home City spending a lot of money is an investment in your city spending a lot of money on vacation if I'm somewhere where I'm never going to be again it perhaps matters a lot less but even if you do something stupid very stupid even if you go into the local casino and you gamble $50,000

and you know say goodbye to everyone and smile and walk out with a smile on your face you are now a well-known person if you go out to a club and you spend $225,000 on champagne a crazy spend that they are never used to seeing you know you'll be surprised how often you get asked back and invited back there's a nightclub actually in bellus that still messages me to this day when you coming back to bellus cuz they never had anyone walk in there and spend $30,000 so it's a very good way of getting known

and yeah it is absolutely an investment it's an investment in your reputation it's an investment in your reputation and it's an investment in terms of you know what people think of you as a man and your status and your standing I guess in the hierarchy of your city I'll be perfectly honest geography is one of the most important things to that there's about five or six cities in the world where the people hang out and you have to know the places in those cities where the people hang out so again you have to have your

dress code right you have to have your manners right you have to have at least some money to be able to get into the door of those places the world Works in a very strange way when it comes to highlevel men and especially beautiful women as well imagine it in terms of three different rooms and one room is free to walk inside and it's where all the fat chicks and the brokies hang out one room costs $2,000 to walk inside just to get in the in the door and there are the average looking girls and

the guys with a bit of money and then one room costs $100,000 to walk into and that's where all the 10 out of 10 hang out and all the Millionaires and billionaires and people you want to network with that's exactly how the world actually works that's not a analogy because all of the places where the people who you want to meet are costs at least some money or you have to have some type of reputation or some type of standing or some type of network or good friends to actually get into these places so if

you're in Bucharest Romania your odds of running into a high value person who you think is going to be of any use to you is pretty much zero because I probably don't want to talk to you neither does Andrew and you don't know anyone else in the city but Los Angeles certainly Miami New York London uh Dubai Singapore there are places in the world where the people hang out and depending on what you want to do and who you want to know all depends on where you go and then you just have to work your

way up until you're in the same room as these people networking is all about making it so you can't just Network after you've made it you have to have armed yourself with a skill set that makes you useful to people it's no good you know becoming the man in your hometown living in La you know networking working your way up knowing that you can get into the best bars the best restaurants Etc and then when you're there just being a jackass and not having any skills and not having anything to offer people if you come

up to me and say hey Tristan I'd like to work with you for you you better have something good to say so it's not just the networking aspect of it it's what you're doing in your spare time what are you reading what are you learning what can you possibly offer people because people like me don't really need money so I don't care about your business idea you probably need my marketing skills more than I need you in your business idea I don't care about hiring you because I have the best people to do all of

the jobs I want the best cameramen the best security guards so if you don't have something really unique and special to offer the people who you're trying to meet you're just going to come across as someone who's pestering them and being pestered is is very annoying when you're famous that all depends on who you're trying to meet but I would say the number one would be health and fitness people will take you a lot more seriously if your clothes fit well and your muscularly built and you're strong and you go up and give a firm

handshake if you're a fat sack of [ __ ] people are not going to take you as seriously that's just the way that the world works so that's the base that you have to work off of as a young man because maybe your IQ isn't that high but maybe you're a nutritionist and personal trainer nutritionist and personal trainers to the ultra wealthy and to the celebrities of the world do very very well in fact I heard of one actually he was gifted a Ferrari for uh for all of his hard work but then he was

arrested and had his car stolen by the police that's quite an amusing story but yeah if he didn't have his particular skill set I would never have met him and I never would have associated with him and he never would have worked for me he never would have bought that Ferrari on top of Health and Fitness for making a good first impression your ability to speak your speaking voice because that communicates into everything you do whether it's sales and marketing website design uh Fitness training whatever you think you have to offer people you have to

be able to convey the idea to them you have to be able to explain the idea to them again sales skills I advise anybody if you're young and you're brok you don't have a job take up a sales job doesn't matter what it is doesn't matter if you're selling Windows or newspaper advertisements over the phone take up a sales job because life is sales my cameraman had to sell me his skills before I hired him even meeting beautiful women is sales you have to convince them to let you waste their time and spend time with

them so everything is sales so your sales skills your speaking voice your health def Fitness and your general appearance are all the most important things I would say yeah absolutely get a commission only sales job job get a sales job that offers you no basic salary cuz it teaches you lots of things one the art of sales and closing the deal and actually bringing money in is very important but two it teaches you work ethic and hunger because when I worked commission only sales jobs it was a matter of I'm not going to eat unless

I sell these windows and you know I'd take a three-hour drive down to whichever house I was going to give the presentation in I'd sit there stare in the mirror splash some water on my face snap into sales mode knock on the door and then make my presentation and I was very very good and yeah sales is a skill that and I have even to this day but you have to understand absolutely everything from the camera that's recording me to the chair I'm sitting on to this wooden paneling there's always there's somebody in every single

company that makes everything that is somehow in charge of sales and marketing so just think about things think about the items around you in the room think about the items you use every day when you go and buy something why did you buy it why did you buy it and who convinced you to buy it you could be ordering a coffee from Starbucks why why are you ordering the coffee from Starbucks who behind the desk of Starbucks HQ all those years ago sat and came up with the strategy that made you know what the brand

is about and and go there and actually buy their coffee obviously boycott Starbucks but that's just an example but think about it when you buy things think about your reason for buying them and then your mind will start thinking a lot more like a Salesman yeah if you're if you're leaving University or High School sales is definitely the field you should get get into it's the field you should get into because no matter what you learn and no matter what skill set you actually develop on top of sales you have to convince people to use

your product or service one way or another Andrew and I are very good at sales but anything you learn inside of the real world even whether it be AI content creation that's all well and good and you could be the best in the world but if you can't convince people if you can't convince people to use your service and actually pay you money to do the things that you're good at then it doesn't matter it's all for nothing so you should definitely definitely get into sales Elegance in men is a lot more about Behavior than

the way you dress it's not a costume you could put on it's very much your mannerisms and the way that you behave if you were to put me in sneakers and sweatpants I would still fit in in a top-end restaurant more so than I would have done at 19 wearing a full suit uh it's the way you open doors for people the way that you uh greet the waiters the way that you greet the staff the way that you treat your guest guests uh if you're driving a lady particularly and you're not in the west

where they've all become Radical feminists by all means get out the car first walk around the side open the door uh it's something that you can't wear it's something that you have to be so read up tips on basic etiquette how to hold your knife and fork how to hold a glass of wine by the stem and not by the bowl of it at the top and you'll fit in a lot more at the better places and seem a lot more elegant irregardless of what you're wearing there's nothing wrong with being a gentleman the only

thing that there's a problem with today is sing people on the internet who are pretty much inels who subscribe to a very toxic idea of what red pill masculinity is will see me with this beautiful girl having purchased these flowers and think simp for all the young men out there who get very confused by the terms used on the internet I would say sing is one thing and one thing only sing is an unfair exchange of value that's what sing is if a girl doesn't know I exist and I found her address I'm sending flowers

to her house just to make her happy that very much is simping if I am waiting by the door to my office going into work and trying to open the door for every single woman in the hope that they'll recognize me that is simping buying flowers for a work colleague who isn't interested in you is simping however if you are trying to get a woman to take you seriously in terms of a in terms of starting a relationship with her then very few things you can do can be considered sing because as I said that's

an unfair exchange of value if the value you get at the end is a girlfriend or maybe even a wife or a family then there's absolutely nothing wrong with you know buying them flowers opening the door opening their car door uh even if you pull up at her house jump out run around open it up let her in close the door run right back around and get in the driver's seat these are all very standard gentlemanly moves that you can make it's when you're making them for women who will never have have a serious interest

in you that's when it becomes sing it depends on the setting that you're talking about if you're setting yourself amongst high value men and you want to see more gentlemanly then certainly cutting out foul language in the way you speak is the way the one trick I say trick I guess the one trait and the one Behavior I like is if somebody is getting up or leaving a table to stand up yourself and also when anyone wants to greet you or to shake your hand whether it be male or female never do it sitting down

if a man comes over to me and uh is about to walk over and sit at my table I'll never shake his hand sitting down I'll never say hi to a woman and give her a half hug sitting down you always stand up look the man in the eyes and shake his hand or you stand up look at the woman in the eyes give her a kiss on both cheeks sometimes it's three sometimes it's one depending on what what country you're from but never ever greet people from your seat that is a number one red

flag and also it's one of the most important because it's usually people's first impression of you the first step to giving a proper handshake is not being a weakling because if you're weak and skinny and scrawny and you try to give this really hard handshake it may be a firm handshake but I also know you're trying to hard whereas if you've got big forearms and big hands and big shoulders and you've been training and you look like a strong guy I expect your handshake to be firm the number one thing when people say firm handshake

is people who don't know how to meet and greet men they think that you have to squeeze the hand you don't have to squeeze the hand at all less than half a centimeter of actual ual movement but your hand should be rigid and unmovable you can't have a malleable hand in someone's hand where you know if they squeeze it slightly your fingers are going to bend so nice firm hand you grab and you squeeze just half a centimeter that's it no crushing no trying to show you're stronger than anyone else it's just the fact that

your hand moves and doesn't give anything back that makes a firm handshake if you start squeezing people's hands they going to think you're a dick yeah I mean I've seen a lot of variations and to be fair if you're a worldly person there are a bunch of variations to this I think in Southeast Asia I've been in India Thailand Vietnam that's when people will give you the double handshake they'll grab your hand but that's very much a sign of of being a subordinate you know a guy who you tip heavily at a hotel will grab

your hand thank you sir thank you sir um you know there are different etiquette and ways to bow to certain people in Japan I know you always have to bow lower than the person you're bowing to if he's in a position of seniority but Japan's not a place I hang out a lot at but before you go to anywhere new I would certainly look up the little traits within the culture and try to play along as best as you can because it's usually appreciated I used to preach that video games were a waste of time

and 10 to 15 years ago when I used to say this they largely were a waste of time now they still are a waste of time however time you enjoy wasting isn't necessarily time wasted so I for example like to read books I read books I listen to audio books I don't benefit necessarily monetarily from them they're just entertainment instead of watching TV I read books some people play video games what I would say is whereas books can make you more interesting as a person video games you have to find a way of at least

offsetting the Damage Done by the time you sink into them by at the very least trying to be productive I don't know streaming your video gameplay on Rumble trying to play competitively with other people over the internet and making videos and document your games and try to get some eyes on you so you're not just isolated by yourself messing around in your room with with your b in a computer screen I mean most bad habits and most hobbies and most things that don't necessarily seem that productive can be turned into content creation and that's something

that we teach inside of the real world regardless what it is no matter I mean if you like shining shoes if you do it to a professional level you can create content and get eyes on you and get you know advertisers and make money and start a channel based on that so I think video games are a waste of time still yeah they're still a waste of time and the gamers are going to get mad at me but there are you know extremely famous streamers who make a lot of money playing video games and people

say like oh well they play video games I should do the same thing they're not just video game players though they're entertainers they're charismatic they're hosting a show they're funny you know they their character looks good I don't know but these people who host the video game streams are more than just players themselves cuz it's not the video games people are interested in it's their personality Elegance in a woman to me is somebody who's never going to embarrass or humiliate you and somebody you'd be very proud to show off so I don't know if women

see it that same way in men but if you come across as an elegant man that's the kind of man that she wants to show to her friends to her parents lots of women I date are very keen to see to show me to their friends or their parents or their families for whatever reason in the same way that you know I'd want to show off a beautiful woman to my friends but when there's any rough edges that's the kind of thing that will put you off wanting to show somebody off so if a woman's

swears a lot talks in a very bad manner maybe has a really horrible accent you know dresses a bit too revealing that's the kind of thing that will make you think okay This Woman's all right I like her I'll keep her at home but I'm not going to introduce her to my friends so Elegance is uh certainly something that women should strive for and men as well if you look at life like a video game anything that increases one of your stats is a worthwhile hobby I think that playing chess will make you more intelligent

helps your critical thinking reading books makes you more interesting and more knowledgeable any type of sport or physical training makes you stronger fitter better looking it's going to make you live longer so whatever hobby you want to pursue and whatever you want to do just make sure it's something that makes you better as a person I mean I know young men who make jewelry who make knives you know that's a that's a very productive hobby because it's a it's a business that they're training themselves up to do just try to avoid things like video games

because video games actually increase nothing they help you in no way at all I would argue that they probably make you less healthy more lazy not knowing how to conduct yourself uh drinking too much to a point of inebriation is a big red flag you know if you ever start stumbling or slurring your speech you know there's a time and a place for that but usually that's a big red big red flag for women especially if you're out on dates um for me I will judge men harshly on bad driving if a man doesn't check

his mirrors and he's not moving his car properly I judge people on bad driving again bad language using too much slang when you're supposed to be in a profession Prof setting knowing the difference between a casual and a professional setting is very important it's not just the language somebody use uh uses because the language I'll use with my friends is very different to the language I'll use on a zoom call with a multi-billionaire businessman so it's knowing the time in the place for certain types of behavior because as men we can all be childish and

we can all be juvenile but you have to be able to distinguish one from the other and there's people who I've met who certainly don't know how to present themselves to some somebody even somebody like myself who's who's wealthy and they're trying to pitch me this business idea they show up and they're acting as though we're two friends down the pub even though I don't know them that's a huge red flag you know they should at least make the effort to try to come across as refined as possible and if they're incapable of doing it

or incapable of spotting a situation where they should be doing it in then it's probably not the kind of person that I'd want to do business with network with be friends with there's no correct answer for which accent is acceptable and which one isn't however some accents are better than others which is a shame because you can't really control your accent however IR regardless of what your accents like and what your speaking voices like you can always tell the intelligence behind somebody's accent depending on the language they use the vocabulary they use the vernacular they

use the way they pause the way that they take their time when putting thoughts together the way they intonate their words so I know very smart people who are Chinese Nigerian Indian who do speak with their heavy accent however you know that there's a brain behind that accent so if you're lucky enough to be born with a British or maybe an American accent and you're not using your voice to your full potential it's one of those instances where you'll always get outpaced by somebody who's more obsessed than if you're born with natural Talent so if

you're born with a BBC British accent which I don't quite have but I guess that would be the top rank of Accents in the world in my opinion you know there's an Indian guy who can sell more than you and do more business than you and close more deals than you despite the fact that his accent is a disadvantage that's just because he works harder than you so make sure that you do work on your vocabulary download stupid apps word of the day read 20 new words a day and and read what they mean learn

their learn their definitions try to include them into your everyday vocabulary yeah you're really doing yourself a huge disservice if you don't try to maximize your speaking voice the best way to cultivate your voice speciic besides expanding your vocabulary to me would be reading out loud take a book that you like or a book that isn't something very simple no children's books obviously and read them out loud it's an exercise that everyone used to have us doing in school we probably don't understand why our teachers used to make us do this however the way that

stories are written and the way that people speak in books and the way that sentences are put together you could tell how it's supposed to be read you could tell you're not supposed to just zoom through all the words like you do in your head when you're mentally reading it so literally read it out loud you can imagine how these characters are speaking to each other you can imagine how they're trying to convey themselves whether it be a sad moment of the book uh an action-packed part of the book uh you know uh somber happy

it doesn't matter you know what the characters are feeling at the time so read out loud and then when you find yourself speaking with your friends if you find yourself talking really fast you you're uming and aing and you can't get your words together like this then slow the [ __ ] down slow down think of what you want to say before you say it and try to convey it in a very articulate compendious way there is a trick that I could tell young men that will help them close business deals help them get girlfriends

help them make friends help them get into the circles that they want to get into and it's a stat I guess of your self that you can expand throughout your entire life and you should never stop expanding it and that would be general knowledge general knowledge is super important because I remember I was sitting with one of the shakes in Dubai and he had there was no alcohol at this house of course it was a dinner event and they start passing around this this wood that you you burn and you smell the scent coming off

the wood and I knew exactly how it was made and how it was cultivated if you don't find it in the wild which is very hard nowadays because it's all extinct you have to drill certain holes into these trees and infect the trees with a certain type of mold and wait for the wood to go petrified and I was explaining this process to him which he already know but he was super impressed that I understood this part of Arabic culture and what this product was exactly and general knowledge will always impress people I can sit

down with most people and have a conversation about most topics IR regardless of what it is there's something that I will know about it and as a young man there's no reason to just if you like sales and internet marketing only read about that spend your spare time learning about things that you don't think are particularly useful maybe spend your spare time learning about things that you right now have no business knowing Yachts the the different brands and makes of private jet learn all of this because when you start to sit with important people you

can at least have an idea of what they're talking about and interject in the conversation perhaps with something they don't know and that has made me more friends and more connections with men women businessmen anyone who I was trying to get connected to than maybe anything else general knowledge you have to work on it see I like audiobooks and even right now you say you don't see me learning things I am 4 hours into to a 17-hour audio book course lectures on the Vikings and Norse mythology and Norse history why so the last 2 hours

when I was in my room I was listening to it so you don't see me learning this stuff but I just find so many things interesting that I will make sure that instead of listening to music or or doing other things I'm I'm filling my brain with information so every day I'm learning something new I don't think a day goes by when when I don't learn something new from somewhere but yeah going down rabbit holes is always very interesting on the internet if you find an interesting fact out about something then read up more I

mean Wikipedia is a tremendous resource everyone's forgotten about it it's because it's kind of fullen out of fashion I think but it is a tremendous resource and when it comes to history and battles and world leaders and things like that there are literally clickable links from each page to the next page to the next page and you could sit and read and learn entire eras of history or entire 20e periods in an hour or two if you are determined enough and this information is maybe not useful for making money and maybe not useful the long

run but if you impress someone like me who you're trying to do business with with your knowledge on something that I find interesting then I'm going to like you more and I'm more likely to sign the contract fighting is a worthwhile Hobby and it was something I did and I consumed God knows how many hours of my youth punching punch bags and punching other people it's very useful because it's something that you carry around with you everywhere you go everywhere I go I know how to fight if I get in a problem or an argument

or a confrontation I know how to fight and something that I never lose so yeah fight fighting is a very good hobby it makes you harder to kill it's probably I think one of the highest return on investment hobbies that young men can possibly do get yourself down to a local boxing gym and learn how to fight absolutely I think that it doesn't teach you any massive lessons I think that you're a lot more aware of how tough you aren't I think that men overestimate their physical capabilities and their ability to do well in a

fight probably by a thousand times like everyone thinks they be fine in a fight everyone thinks they'll just they have this fantasy that they can just beat people up but fighting is actually incredible incredibly difficult and when you really know how to fight it makes you more paranoid because you understand how unrealistic these scenes where you know scenes in movies where a guy is beating up five different people unless you're Steven Seagal this is unrealistic stuff so it makes you a lot more paranoid because I'm aware that if someone sucker punches me from behind and

his friend starts stomping on my head it doesn't matter how much kickboxing I know so when you know how to be violent and you know how easy it is to hurt people and to knock them out you understand also how fragile you are as a person and you stop overestimating yourself in terms of what you can do in a fight like most men do a lot of people end up working fast food jobs after University because they believe that doors are going to open because the degree is given to them they get this message from

their parents they get this message from The Matrix the media they are sold this dream that you're going to come out of University with a degree and everybody's going to want to hire you and you're going to you know you're going to be a high value member of society that's going to just jump into the 75 grand a year $100,000 a year job but you won't and that's not what's going to happen take one University you went to University didn't you how many students passed in your year do you know in graduation guess I don't

know the size of your 30,000 students in a year passed at your at your University alone maybe 10,000 let's say 10,000 how long ago since you graduated 10 years eight no no it's four five four or five years that's 50,000 people have walked out of the door of the same building you went to in Texas with these pieces of paper saying hire me I'm worth millions of dollars per year I'm worth hundreds of thousands per year I'm worth at least six figures 50,000 people from that one building you went to how many universities are in

the USA I challenge somebody to do this math how many students graduate with a University degree every single year in all of the top universities okay fine how many universities are there in the United States how many new degrees how many new pieces of paper are printed every single year for everybody to walk out of these buildings and wave around an employer saying I'm worth all this money take that number and divide it by the number of jobs in the United States that even pay six figures the number of jobs in the United States that

even pay you $100,000 a year which by the way is still broke and you'll see the glaringly obvious scam that traditional education is universities used to be prestigious you used to have to be smart to go to university now any idiot can go to university you can buy a degree even if you're unintelligent universities used to be for the intelligent the smart the industrious and they would go go there and get their degree and they'd be rare in society the man walking around the ey of a university education people used to brag about having somebody

like that in their family and universities used to actually mean something however once it became clear that there was a big business here a big racket here that the banks were happy to fund all the students going there and pay you all your money University sprung up everywhere you could do universities online from your house and all these people are printing these degrees every year which are utterly meaningless if you don't know what the next step is I can't give you a specific answer because the next step is different for different people what did I

do I worked on my sports career I thought it might make me some money it didn't but I thought if I could become the world champion at kickboxing I'll have some Fame and some money and a good life and I can use that money to invest in things and set myself up and I pursued a sports career now if you're not built like me and you're not designed like me and you're not big Like Me Maybe a kickboxing career isn't right for you but certainly the world of professional sports is good for anybody with an

athletic background I'm Terri at soccer you might be good at soccer there's nothing wrong instead of going to University applying yourself towards some type of professional sport whether it be long jumping weightlifting boxing whatever you're good at because these people let's be honest are some of the most successful people in the world when you talk about who are the richest most successful most famous people in the world you don't say the guy who went to this University the guy went to that University you're talking NBA you're talking NFL you're talking soccer you're talking baseball you're

talking boxing you're talking golf so professional sports is a very very good Outlet to drive yourself into because even if you don't make the big money like I didn't because I didn't you learn a lot of hard lessons along the way you're in great physical shape you've learned how to deal with ups and downs and wins and losses and injuries and setbacks you're far more prepared for the world I believe after a 4-year career in boxing which ends abruptly before you made any money then you would be if you spent four years studying something generic

like business I I've never purposefully been a clown and that's what a lot of these people even if some of these streamers do grow up to be I guess mature adults when they're in their late 30s and 40s when they're closer to my age if they do I think they'll look back at their content and be deeply ashamed of themselves because I think that they are purposefully being clowns they're purposefully acting stupid and saying and doing very stupid things although I don't agree with everything I used to say and although I don't smile at my

old content pridefully a lot of the time I never purposefully acted like a clown I never made a joke out of myself or a joke out of my life I always said what I believed was true at the time and I always did what I thought was right or smart at the time so as many things as I got wrong when I was younger I was still a young man doing my very best you know to make it you know out there in this cold world and I became Rich As [ __ ] eventually so

it it must have worked yeah don't make a clown of yourself if I know that you know I was sitting there in front of a camera at 25 talking about how I run all these webcam models it's come back to haunt me obviously cuz you know the Romanian justice system is trying to you know butcher my life because of that but there's me at 25 talking about running webcam models or any of the stupid [ __ ] I was doing yeah I still didn't make a joke out of myself I never wore stupid costumes I

never painted my face stupid colors I never screamed and jumped around and act like an animal or a monkey like a lot of these people on the internet you know I was doing the best I I could at the time and I I was right about everything but I have nothing to be ashamed of that's my favorite fight story and the haters on the internet find this fight who lasts about 2 minutes into the first round and I tap out it was my first ever MMA fight but I think that's one of my proudest moments

in fighting and one of my coolest stories I just injured my shoulder right I was in a car crash I hadn't been done any physical training for months I was in a lot of pain and the head the the champion of the Federation his opponent pulled out so the head of this fight show calls me says look Kristen I need a fighter last minute Andrew was in the big house at the time so I didn't have Andrew my fight coach was in another country I didn't have him I didn't have anybody so I just said

you know what yeah [ __ ] it I'll do it I'll take the fight in the on on on one day's notice and I'll get in there and and you know try try to win I didn't win but I think that's one of my proudest stories in fighting and it's a pretty cool story if you know the background to it the fight at the very beginning we were talking with the rules and they said look because you've put you've come in last minute would you like to alter the rules maybe the first round no wrestling

so it's just going to be standup which is your Arena and I I said no I don't want to alter the rules at all I would like the rules to be full MMA rules and I want the rules that way because if I do knock him out then I've won and I'm not going to have him making any excuses so I spoke very rudimentary basic Romanian at the time but I heard his corner just telling him to grabed me and wrestle me so I threw 11 head high kicks in those 2 minutes I believe 11

because my arm was injured my shoulder was injured I couldn't jab properly so I couldn't line up my my right hand and I knew if I could C catch him with a with a head kick I could actually knock him out it didn't work um one of the kicks uh I missed and I span around that's how he grabbed me from the back and got me onto the ground for the first time and I essentially tapped because I got off the ground the first time just by brute forcing my way up and then when I

tried that the second time my shoulder was slipping out of place as I was pushing him so I was like okay well now I can't get up my shoulder's falling out of place where I'm trying to push this guy off me so I just tapped and ended the fight but pretty cool story um I I earned a lot of respect all the fighters in Romania all the fighters from the uh show they work as Dorman and stuff Bucharest I I earned a lot of credit in my city and in the Romanian Community for doing that
