To succeed at an elite level in sports requires nowadays a high level of specialization. Small details are determinant.
Being successful in one sport and moving to another can be very risky. You can go from being the best to just be one more.
Our today’s guest has experienced great success in two different sport martial arts.
He has been twice Kickboxing world champion and has been twice world medalist in Taekwondo. Silver in Chelyabinsk 2015 and Bronze in Muju 2017
I’m talking about Damon Sansum.
Damon was recruited to the GB Taekwondo team as part of the Fighting Chance program, which scout athletes from other martial arts to compete at taekwondo.
He had the skill and mindset necessary to adapt to a new style of competition.
He kindly talked with us about how he made it, how he had dedicated his life to martial arts and how he after his retirement is still contributing to the martial arts world adding high level technology to it.
Damon works with Kick.ai, a Finish company that is incorporating data driven technology to martial arts training. Damon shared with us all the exciting things he is doing with Kick.ai
I highly recommend this interview. Damon has a great passion for martial arts, technology and self improvement.
Please enjoy.
