"Training, a lot of the time, is just uncomfortable. But discipline is all about doing the thing that's uncomfortable" —Frank Shamrock

"Training is harder than fighting. Fighting is easy! It's exciting and you get the adrenaline high. Nothing hurts when you're fighting. You don't feel stuff." —Frank Shamrock

MMA breeds confidence, builds character, and creates strong, diverse communities whose foundation is honor, respect, and discipline. -Frank Shamrock

"When you're in there fighting, there's an energy and there's a focus that is nearly unbreakable" -Frank Shamrock

There is nothing more beautiful than the painted canvas of just totally kicking someone's ass. -Frank Shamrock

When you're angry, you can't fight rationally. Your body chemistry is all messed up. Your energy goes to all the wrong places. You can't do anything well except get angrier. That's why I like fighting guys who are pumped up on steroids. Fighting is all about relaxing and releasing tension, so your body is flexible and fluid, able to bend and flex quickly, like water. I like fighting angry guys who are really tense. They can't think right, and they can't fight right. -Frank Shamrock

Frank Shamrock: Conditioning is the best submission hold

 

When Frank Shamrock defeated Tito Ortiz in defending his UFC title, it was his supreme conditioning that allowed him to come back from a three round deficit and run away with the fight in the fourth and win the bout. A lot fighters would rather fight a fighter who is very talented but has poor conditioning, as opposed to an average fighter with great conditioning.
