 Getting Started

Set Your Expectations

As a student of Time Control Sports you must first set expectations for what you want to achieve.

Just as a new student walking into a Tae Kwon Do school expects to learn a variety of kicks and blocks, you must set your expectations for what you want from Time Control Sports.

“I want to see things happen in slow motion!” is not a high enough expectation.

I recommend you first study the sections on Redefining Time and Taking Control and plan your progress accordingly.

Questions such as, “How do I achieve seeing in slow motion in the shortest amount of time?” and “In which areas do I need the most improvement?” should ever be in mind. Daily you should ask yourself, “How can I continually and consistently improve my mental fighting / competitive skills?”

Base Your Expectations on Reality

Time Control Sports is not a metaphysical concept. There is no chanting, humming, or sitting in a lotus position. Nor will I ask you to stand on your head — only to use it.

We are interested in going where science has not yet taken us: to harness the power of the mind.

Whether or not it’s true, we’ve been told that we only use 20% of our brain capacity. Ever ask yourself what the other 80% is doing? Ever wonder if there’s some way to channel that untapped power to serve faster thinking and quicker reactions?

Something that’s on far better scientific footing that the 20% claim is the fact that a surge of adrenaline can confer extra physical strength in extreme situations. In addition to seemingly “super strength”, many of us have also experienced a strange sort of time dilation (sounds like Star Trek doesn’t it?) I’m talking about the way time seems to move more slowly in a crisis situation such as a car accident.

When confronted with something darting in front of our car, we receive a shot of adrenaline that seems to confer extra zing to our reflexes. We brake or swerve to avoid collision more quickly than we would have thought possible.

This poses a question: Are seeing in slow motion and that surge of adrenaline related?

My experience indicates the answer is a resounding “yes!” And it was this connection that made me wonder if the response could be harnessed. This, in turn, led me to create the concept of Time Control Sports and systematize a path to achieving what I call Time Control Sports Combat Mode or TCS/CM.

What is TCS Combat Mode?

TCS Combat Mode is the art of being able to seemingly manipulate time to give yourself an edge in competition and/or in life-threatening situations.

All great athletes use time control to some degree. You’ve heard sports commentators remark on it. “He’s seeing the ball well,” they say of a power hitter like Albert Pujols. Or remark on how Joe Montana was able to see the entire field of play and note the movements of every receiver even as he was rolling out of the pocket or facing a blitz. To these athletes, seeing things happen more slowly and thinking and responding more quickly seems natural to the point that many of them do not even notice the phenomenon. In my own experience, I can say that I have never lost a fight while in TCS Combat Mode and seeing in slow motion.

If you are already using some degree of time control in your own athletic endeavors, you will no doubt comprehend the principles behind TCS/CM more quickly and be able to achieve the highest level of control more readily.
