Richard Grannon – Supra States
Mental Performance MMA Coach Joe Bell, the inhouse expert for all things psychological at “Fighters Only” and “Train Hard Fight Easy” magazines asked me a few months a go to do something for up and coming MMA fighters to up their mental game.
I gave him an article on the “Supra States” concept. Something SFS subscribers have been familiar with and using for a couple of years. After Joe edited out the bizzare ramblings and digressions what was left was a good tight article on practical psychology.

What is the Supra States Concept?
Put simply: its the conscious creation of a “split” or sub persona in the personality that is capable of performing tasks and skillsets with greater flexibility than your normal personality.
GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!
Psychology can’t give you skills that you dont have, but it CAN help you access the full range of skills that you DO have but usually FAIL to access. Very often we stand in our own way because of incongruencies with our self image, unconscious beliefs and values and the requirements of external reality.
In MMA and in Self Protection we must face the years of social conditioning we have faced since childhood to overcome the massive internal barriers we have to the social taboo of violence. This is not easy to do without proper psychological techniques and can add a lot of undue FEAR, STRESS and STRUGGLE to the practitioner.
What can the Supra States Course do for ME?
It doesnt matter the skillset or the arena: whether its playing better at sport, sales, public speaking, being confident and assertive, self protection, language skills, technical performance of ANY KIND the Supra States Course can offer you two very clear advantages:
1. It will allow you to perform at YOUR best – free from fear, worry, stress or inner conflict.
2. It will open up a whole new world of possibilities – this course allows you to approach problems and tasks in TOTALLY new ways as you consider facing them as a different persona altogether.
