I came across a video of CM Punk training WWE wrestling and even back then he just wasn't good enough. He was not known for his athletic ability, he was well known rather for his promos. He had great 'mic skills' as WWE pros put it. I was wondering how come Punk never even improved his striking even though he had plenty of time working in one of the best gyms in all of MMA. Couldn't throw a proper kick, a proper punch etc. Aaron Chalmers, a freaking reality star from England took up MMA 3 years ago and now he's undefeated - knocking guys out cold. Yet punk never amounted to anything even he had plenty of time to train, he was doing Gracie Breakdown videos 6 years ago and one of the Gracie's mentioned Punk has been doing BJJ with him for some time.
Anyways here's punk training WWE moves:
This is what he was good at, his mic skills:
You know the observation about Chlamers in interesting. I think the age is a major factor. The ability to pic things up is easier when your younger.
16 year old can pick driving better than some 50 year old woman that's set in her ways. Not only is there mind developing but so is there body.
Punk is set in his own way's and even in 3 years he could not untrain his bad habits. He started way too late.
