My name is Alice Overeem. I am a fighter of profession
I've been fighting for a long time, training for 22 years, and competing for 19 years.
I'm currently fighting for the UFC.
And my next fight will be for the UFC Championship. So it's going to be a big year for me.
I've met Wim actually through
I've heard several stories about him, from friends
And I became curious.
As an athlete I'm always looking
To gain that edge, to get an advantage over my opponents.
And his breathing techniques, and withstanding the cold
Intrigued me and especially the breathing techniques.
Everybody needs oxygen.
And as an athlete you cannot have enough oxygen.
Breathing is a very big component.
So in that sense, I had several questions for Wim.
It took me straight to Wim. He had his own theories on it.
The meeting was a very positive one.
It was a very positive conversation.
He gave me basically, some homework.
And I started doing that homework, which was consisted of breathing exercises and showering cold.
And yeah, I'm currently now working with Wim
To increase my performances.
It's very cold in Holland right now.
It's 9°C in the water, probably is even colder.
Yeah, if you breathe correctly you can handle it.
Store up oxygen!
Fully in!
Let go, stop, and go!
One, two, three,
Four, five, six,
Seven, eight, nine
For me, I mean, I'm half Jamaican.
Half Dutch, half Jamaican.
I really do not like the cold.
So, for me that's a milestone.
Right on!
Last weekend I had a fight and I fought the number one in the UFC.
This man is a maniac!
He truly is really good. He's really technical. He's tough, he's strong.
In many fields he's a great athlete.
At the day itself
I felt the nerves coming
But I just reverted back to my breathing exercises that I've been practicing daily
And I was very calm. Very calm on fight day, very calm
During the whole day, during the whole process.
Of course you feel a little tension
But every time I felt that tension, I just went back to the breathing and I was calm.
And I felt energetic.
During the fight I was breathing correctly.
Usually, a fight is 3 rounds.
I finished him on knockout
And really at the end of the 2nd round. It was only like 10 seconds or 15 seconds left.
But I also wasn't tired.
So for my cardio
It really increased, just by breathing. Breathing correctly.
A lot of friends of mine
And in my family, we're involved with these exercises.
I think we definitely do recognise there's a 100% added value.
I am definitely recommending it to everybody!
It is a truly unique method.
It's funny how Holland has produced something like this.
It's a unique method that
That's gonna change the world.
