Fitness, defending, the mental stuff - those were all weaknesses of mine. And I turned those into strengths.

My strength was that I am more balanced and calmer than most other riders.

It's really amazing when you discover how strong you actually are and what you really can accomplish.

I wish I were stronger in areas. Not so consumed or distracted.

When I'm competing, I need to be strong.

Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength, not my weakness.

Irrespective of who's up against me at tournaments, I have always relied completely on my own strengths to get as far as I can, and tried to adapt my game according to the match-situation.

'Growing Stronger' emerged from a need to relate my life experiences as well as my constant struggle to prevail each day, and as a reminder to myself of the importance of never giving up.

I've always been really athletic, which really helped, because when I first started doing the training for Bulletproof Monk, it required so much strength that if I didn't have a base I don't really know what I would have done.

I added a new strength training regimen in my training, and I feel like I've become a much stronger, more dynamic athlete. That makes me much more dangerous against anyone.
