-Come on, Israel. -They show you, they show you guys.
That's it, that's the one.
What's up, man? It is? Already? Fuckin' hell.
Not the pushups, eh?
One more, one more, one more.
Let's go.
Y'all rolling? Let's roll, let's roll, let's roll. Oh shit.
So now what happens?
Hey man, what's up? How are you?
A special head-up. Can I take a photo of it?
-Yeah. -What's up, man? How are you, man?
Chicken!
It's bright in here.
I'm going to try to kick it this time, wait, wait, wait.
Go, go, go, go.
That's all right. All right.
That's a new high score, mate.
I'll try more, try more, that was one, that was one.
Woah. We'll keep the first one.
I just want to say, yo Israel if you're watching this,
this is insane, bro.
A lot of people call you arrogant, cocky, all that kind of stuff on socials,
but you're a humble guy,
you've done a lot for me behind the scenes.
That right there, you've been doing this for how long?
It's been an hour, it's super hot.
Hey, I'll see you again, 'cause I know I'm never gonna forget you anyway.
Thanks, no worries, brother. Thanks, you guys. See you, everyone.
Bye, everyone. Queensway!
Peopling is fun, but it's hard sometimes.
But I'm always shocked, because even when I was like, who's gonna show up?
Literally that's what I was thinking I was like, who's gonna show up?
Because it's not like I'm in Vegas or somewhere else in the world,
where people don't see me often.
I'm always around Auckland. I'm always around this,
but people were traveling from all over the country to come to this.
Does that kind of motivate you seeing all those people, like, around you?
Does it motivate me? I don't think so. I don't think it motivates me.
But it's humbling, in a way where it's like,
I'm just surprised people still want to, like...
I'm still surprised people still want to see me.
Like I said, I'm out here.
I'm in these streets. You know what I mean? So yeah,
I'm always shocked that people still want to hang out
and want to come say what's up and take a photo.
And people are shaking, I can feel that they're shaking.
And I'm like, really? It's not that deep.
But that's just me. That's my own... yeah.

We'll do a nervous system reset first. It takes about 15-20 minutes.
-Okay. -That'll be in the gym.
And it's like, they'll put you... you'll probably fall asleep.
-Okay, I'll do that. -Then we'll get in the sauna, a nice...
Cool. We'll do that.
We're at the palace, Woody's spot off Piha,
and we are gonna recover properly,
set ourselves back into the parasympathetic nervous system,
full nervous system reset.
And then do some hot-cold therapy with the sauna and the ice bath.
Lie down, sit down, whatever it is. Relax.
We did sort of like a 30-minute breathing flow,
which is all designed
to sort of balance and strengthen the nervous system.
Exhale fully. Big inhale.
Big inhale, big inhale and hold the breath.
So we do some breathing that upregulates the nervous system
and some breathing that puts the nervous system into a calm state.
And the idea with that breathing flow is to balance everything.
So now we'll do the contrast, getting the contrast therapy.
-Woah, last breath. -Very, very zen of you.
-Very, very last breath. -This room [inaudible].
Shut the fuck up.
So you've got your knees up in front.
Sit like this. Like this, baby. You have to sit like this.
-Fuck. -Come on, man.
You gotta get... all right, let's go.
-Feet, feetus, let's go. -Oh let's go, straight in there,
whoah, whoah, whoah, DBT.
-Settle down, big guy.
Holy fuck.
Whoo. This is as low as I can go, but I'm calm. I'm in my element.
Whoo, is this like a sauna type? I don't feel a thing. Whoo, damn.
One minute, that's all you need, man.
Is that sunscreen? It's a bit warm out.
Breathe, don't hold your breath.
-Are you taking a shit? -I'm somewhere else right now.
-Go to your happy place. -It's not too bad.
Wait, how long does it... who's timing? Who has the time?
Champ! The champ!
-Is the sauna on? -Yeah.
Ah, yeah.
Working with these boys has been incredible.
It's been eight weeks now
of doing the recovery and breathing training.
You can see the shift in all of them and the adaptations that they've made
as a result of doing the breathing training, the pool work,
and the recovery stuff. So yeah, it's been awesome.
Cold, but hey, I own this.
-Control. -I own this. It's mine.
[Speaking Yoruba/Nigerian Pidgin]
Exactly. Oh, you guys are here already. Fucking hell. These guys professionals.
The body is like a car, right?
If you maintain it well you're drive the car forever.
If you don't maintain it, then it will last...
It'll be good for the first 50,000 kms, then you'll break down.
So like I said, we want every athlete's body
to last for a long, long time
and not just break down, and before their prime hits.
So yes, it's very, very important.
As long as we can maintain and manage it,
and treat everything that needs to be addressed,
and make sure the body is running at an optimal level.
For me it's just about, yeah, just feeling good, freeing up the body.
I like to free up the body and just know where I'm at.
Gabe's worked for me for so many years, he knows what my body does each fight.
You know, leading up to the fight camp,
five weeks out, four weeks out, three weeks out.
-True. -So you can just tell. Nice. Yeah.
I have been.
Every shoulder that gets used, especially throwing a lot of shots forward
a lot of fighters throw punches forward,
what happens is the shoulder anteriorly translates
So all we have to do is just reset it.
If we can gain about two to three degrees backwards,
we can actually throw that much bigger of a range,
so we can actually increase the torque of the punches
by setting the shoulder a little bit further back.
I will, as always.
Get that camera out of my face. Tell him to get out of my face.
Get out of his face.
You need to get out of my face. Listen to the boss lady.
My job with Izzy is more about helping recovery, and just helping the body
get through any little niggles, and he's in fantastic shape.
So here we're really looking forward to the 12th.
Great.
-Okay, look at Dad. -Right there.
-Dad. -Hello,
you know where Dad is?
Bye, everyone. See you guys.
Hello. Good afternoon.
That's it, that's the one. That's the seat.
[Inaudible.]
Oh, that's the one.
-Exactly. -Sorry, Rob?
Energetic, he's an energetic kid. I don't know how, I just woke up,
-had a 15-minute nap. -Power nap.
And the man is just like, you know.
He's got the endorphins. He'll crash soon, don't worry.
Can I have some? Can I have some, please?
Enjoy.
You can't. You dive slow, you play slow, you die.
Let's go, Israel.
Let's go!
Unfortunately, we won't be back straightaway
from the trip that we're coming.
So we won't be able to immediately reciprocate and show our appreciation
by coming in and straight back to training with you guys,
because we honestly don't know when we're back.
So it's just a situation we're in.
I hope the guys involved in that situation
understand the gravity of what they're doing.
I had to go out of my way to ask these coaches to go away
from their family and their responsibilities.
I had to have some serious discussions with them about doing it.
You couldn't pay me... there's a certain amount of money you can pay me,
and I'll stay away from my family for a month.
But there's no amount of money you can pay and say I'm not sure
when you'll be reunited back with your family.
That's just the type of person I am.
You can put as many zeros on your offer, I don't give a fuck.
I would rather be six months with my family
than six months without them.
Just want the guys to understand, that are involved with us,
that are going overseas, the gravity of what we're doing,
and how important it is.
and how this is a lot different to the other trips.
The boys had a path home. Obviously, we take all these training camps serious,
but this one takes on a bit of a new meaning.
Please join us at 2pm.
Walker will be there.
All right, see you at 2 pm, guys. Shake hands.
Yeah, this is Bangkok, our friend Paul's restaurant in Kingsland, Auckland.
Come through, check it out. Great food, not even lying.
We just come through and show love to people who show love to us, who help us
get ready to do what we do.
And I just want to thank you who started kickboxing,
just to show what teamwork is like, how work is like,
and what we can get through focus and determination.
You guys show us the way, I use that philosophy, and here we are.
So thank you, guys. Enjoy your meal.
We just show love and make sure they know they're appreciated,
'cause we don't know when we're coming back due to this crazy system with MIQ.
I don't even know when I'm coming back into my own country.
We just show love though, to the people who matter to us.
And that's what we do.
Come through, have kind of like the last supper before we go to war.
You already know.
What do you think about the camp? How did you get through it?
Hard work, dedication, diet.
I heard Hangman is in my division now, so we'll see what happens.
-He's calling you out, Hangman. -Facing the defeat.
-All right, man,
-I will come back, you already know. -Once that fucking bonus comes, baby.
Exactly, 50 G's.
Well I'm glad, because it would have got declined.
I love you, brother. Thank you so much. Easy.
