Intshatsheli yeKickboxing uTiffany Van Soest ngumdlali okhohlakeleyo eringini nasekhejini. Ngobuntshatsheli behlabathi obuzukisiweyo be-GLORY kunye neentshatsheli ezintlanu ze-Muay Thai zeHlabathi eziphumeleleyo phantsi kwebhanti lakhe, oneminyaka engama-28 ubudala ufumene igama lesidlaliso esithi "Ixesha leBhombu" ngenxa yamandla akhe angaqondakaliyo okuphumelela ngomzuzu wokugqibela. (Musa ukushiya konke ukulwa kuTiffany. Nasi isizathu sokuba ufanele uzame i-MMA ngokwakho.)

Nangona kunjalo, uVan Soest uchithe ubomi bakhe bonke esilwa noxinzelelo lwentlalo kunye nemiba yemifanekiso yomzimba-into avula ngayo okokuqala.

"Ndingumntwana oneentloni ngokwenene," utshilo uVan Soest Ubume. "Ndandisoloko ndicinga ukuba yinto endiya kuphuma ngayo kodwa andizange ndiyenze. Iimeko zentlalo ziye zaqhubeka zibangela ukuxhalaba kum, kodwa andizange ndiqonde ukuba ndilwa 'nexhala loluntu' ngokukodwa de abantu baqala ukuthetha ngengqondo. impilo ngokungafihlisiyo. " (Nantsi indlela yokwazi ukuba unokuxhamla kunyango.)

Akuyomfihlo ukuba kumashumi eminyaka (kakhulu, iinkulungwane, ngokwenene), imiba yempilo yengqondo ibekwe ibala. “Imicimbi yempilo yengqondo ihlala inxulunyaniswa nokuphambana nokuphambana,” utshilo uVan Soest. "Kodwa le micimbi inento yokwenza nokungalingani kwemichiza kwingqondo yakho, njengokunye ukungalingani emzimbeni wakho okunokubangela ukuba uzive ugula. Ukuba abantu bebethetha ngezi zinto ngokungafihlisiyo, kunokubanceda ukuba bafumane eyona nto iphosakeleyo ngabo. Ngubani owaziyo? Oko baziva benokuba negama.

Kude kube yiminyaka emine eyadlulayo, uVan Soest wayengenalo nofifi lokuba iimvakalelo ezikhubazekileyo nezityhafisayo awayenazo xa wayengqongwe sisihlwele esikhulu okanye eshiyeke yedwa ethetha nabantu angabaziyo yayizimpawu zakudala zokuxhalaba ekuhlaleni. "Intliziyo yam yayiqala ukubetha esifubeni sam, kwaye ndandifumana kunzima ukuqhubeka nencoko-ngokuqhelekileyo ndithintitha kwaye ndikhupha amagama am kwaye ndingazi ukuba ndenze ntoni ngezandla zam. Ngaphezu koko ndaziva ndi-claustrophobic, ndifuna ngokukrakra. ukuphuma kwimeko kwaye ube wedwa kwakhona, ”utshilo uVan Soest.

Kwade kwasele kuqalisile ukuvakalisa ezi mvakalelo wakwazi ukufumana uncedo awayeludinga. Ukusukela oko ndafunyanwa ngokusesikweni, ndiye ndafunda indlela yokumelana nayo bhetele, utshilo. (Idibeneyo: Indlela yokujongana nokuxhalaba kweNtlalo ngaphandle koTywala)

UVan Soest wenze uthotho lwamaqhinga amncedayo ukuba adlule kwiimeko ezivusa intlalontle. "Ndiye ndaqaphela ukuba andinakukwazi ukuphepha zonke iimeko ezibangela ukuxhalaba kwam, ngoko ke ndize neendlela zam zokujongana nayo: ukugxila ekuphefumleni kwam xa ndincokola nabantu endingabaziyo okanye ukuthatha ikhefu kunye nokunyathela. ngaphandle ndiphinde ndacinga ngeziqu zam, utshilo. "Ukwamkela ukuba kukho ingxaki kungcono kakhulu kunokuzama ukuyifihla okanye ukuyiphika."

Ngaphambili, uVan Soest wayesebenzisa ubugcisa bokulwa njengendlela yokuhlangabezana nayo. Yamnika isizathu sokubalekela kwilizwe lakhe. "Kuyandinceda ukuba ndingacingi ngexhala lam ngelixa ndibonelela ngalo, utshilo. "Xa ndiqeqesha okanye ndilwa, ndikwindawo. Kodwa izicwangciso zentlalo ngaphambili nangemva zisangunobangela onamandla ekufuneka ndisebenze ngawo rhoqo. " (Ukuba usebenzisa ukuzivocavoca njenge "unyango" lwakho, kufuneka ufunde oku.)

Kutshanje, ungene kwilizwi elithethiweyo, uhlobo lwesibongo olujolise ekusebenzeni. "Bendihlala ndikwimibongo, ihip-hop, irap, kunye naloo ndawo yonke," utshilo uVan Soest. "Ndazigcina iijenali njengomntwana apho ndandibhala khona izicengcelezo, kodwa nje ngamehlo am."

Kodwa akazange azidubule ngokwakhe ade aye kwingqungquthela enefuthe e-Austin ngo-Septemba ophelileyo.

Esinye sezona zithethi ziphambili ibingumbhali weengoma oye wadlala kwaye yatshisa into kum, kungoko ke ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndikuthathe nzulu ukubhala kwam kwaye ndijonge ukuzenza ngokwam, utshilo. "Yaba yindlela yam yokuthetha, apho ndade ndayifumana indlela yokuthetha oko ndandikuva. Kuyanyanga. Nanini na xa ndiziva ndonwabile, ndinokuthatha iphepha ndibhale nje imigca embalwa okanye ndicengceleze izingqi phezulu, ndihleli emotweni yam, ngendlela endiziva ngayo."

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, uVan Soest wenze ugcino lweemic mic ebusuku. Phambi kokuba ndizimisele ukwenza intliziyo yam iqala ukubaleka kwaye ndinoloyiko kwaye ndinexhala njengaphambi komlo, utshilo. "Kodwa okwesibini ndiqala ukucengceleza, yonke into iyahamba kwaye ndiyakwazi ukukhulula yonke into ebhotile ngaphakathi kwam, njengokuba ndihlala kwi-cage okanye iringi. Ivakalelwa kakhulu kwaye ihlambulukile."

Igama elithethiweyo likaVan Soest lijolise ikakhulu kuxinzelelo kunye nokuba uzive esesichengeni kangakanani na nangona ejongwa njengongenakoyiswa.Kodwa umfanekiso womzimba sesinye isihloko ahlala esiphatha, ekwabelana ngendlela umzimba wakhe weembaleki osoloko ekuxoxwa ngayo.

Andizange ndisokole ngembonakalo yomzimba de ndakwishumi elivisayo kwaye abantu baqala ukuphawula malunga namathanga am, utshilo uVan Soest.
