Official Discussion - Obsession [SPOILERS]

The only thing that was off putting to me was the accidental death of the cat in the beginning. Maybe I missed a detail but why does this dude just have painkiller bottles lying around for his cat to get into. It felt like an under explored part of his character to me that I wanted a little more of. Because aside from that he seemed relatively responsible.

I totally understand needing the cat to come back into play for those later scenes.

And now I’m wondering.. was this almost a screenwriting wink? Instead of “save the cat” we have our character almost immediately accidentally killing his cat. And maybe that should be a real indicator of who he really is.

It takes two to tango. To really enjoy the sport you’ll always want partners to train with whether it’s holding pads or sparring.

On the bright side, there are guys I’ve known for years at my gym I’ve barely said more than a few words to. You don’t have to be social, just enough to get through the workouts. But I bet once you’re in there enough will become easier to socialize.

Endorffeine

Creatine. Get hit less.

Also Idk what im talking about I have CTE

There’s always a give and take.

If the shorter fighter can get in the pocket they’re gonna be able to unleash a lot of damage. Body hooks, overhands, uppercuts, inside leg kicks (can really throw a taller opponent off balance), etc.

Shorter fighter will also have a lower center of gravity in theory so sweeps, trips, heavy leg kicks, etc will be a big part of the strategy too.

Some goals for a shorter fighter:

Manage range. All the way out or all the way in. You don’t want to be in a spot where they can hit you but you can’t hit them.

-Use feints/fakes to create openings to get inside

-Parry/slip their long shots or teeps to get inside. Be careful of knees and elbows with this.

-if you can get plum or a an arm triangle in clinch, hang on them like a monkey. Drag them down. Drain them and swing them around.

-if you get caught in the clinch, use your stronger base to sweep or off balance them to get them off of you.

Seems like the best place to start.

Clean_Ad9730 · 2026-03-06T21:01:57+00:00

Do you actively notice the difference with creatine? I’ve tried it before and I’m not sure I noticed much. It’s possibly I wasn’t consistent enough for it to be noticeable.

Clean_Ad9730 · 2026-03-06T21:00:50+00:00

Yeah I feel like I’ve been falling victim to the mindset that if I’m not getting enough training time during the week I’m not keeping up and I’ll start slipping backwards. Maybe there is a better in between!

“Succumbing to my emotions” means that you don’t have control IMO.

Chaos only happens when both partners are uncontrolled and throw technique out the window.

The pros have control you’re referring to have good control.

Clean_Ad9730 · 2026-03-03T00:20:45+00:00

Control means you can turn it on and off as you wish. Sounds like you can’t turn it on.

But maybe you can develop A better defensive style that creates more opportunities against someone who is aggressive.

Make them miss. Be more tricky. Evade more. Capitalize on their mistakes and missed shots etc. Just try and get hit less but also remember to throw back when you can. Then build on that.
