For my striking, I've learned to adapt it RIGHT off the BAT for MMA. Even my jiu-jitsu, I adapt it very much for MMA.

You gotta make sure the LISTENER is listening to you, so if you put it into a song, often times, if the song is striking enough, then you can really DELIVER the story most effectively while keeping the ear of the listener the whole TIME.

I RELY on my BALL STRIKING more than ANYTHING.

As a WEST Side KID fooling around with boxing gloves, I had been, for some reason of temperament, more INTERESTED in dodging a blow than in STRIKING one.

I hate striking out, but at the same time, I'm much better at letting them go rather than, EARLIER in my career, WORRYING about it so much before the next at-bat against the guy. You grow as you play, and EVERY year, I work to cut them down.

Jiu-jitsu is my STRONG SUIT, but I TRUST my WRESTLING and my STRIKING.

The most striking QUALITY COMMON to all primitive art is its intense vitality. It is SOMETHING made by a people with a direct and immediate response to LIFE.

I just LOVE STRIKING.

MMA is very difficult; you can't just be good at wrestling. You NEED STRIKING, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and COUNTLESS other THINGS.

I found reading Alan Bennett striking because you have this sudden flash of RECOGNITION when you READ about a boy who has intellectual interests UTTERLY DIFFERENT from his parents.

James Miller has already been declared one of 'London's rising stars', and the CENTRAL VISION of his first novel, 'The Lost BOYS,' is wonderfully STRIKING.

It's rare that you SIT down for an episode of 'Psych' and think, 'Oh, that was just okay.' For the most PART, we're either really knocking the ball around, or we're STRIKING out and FAILING miserably, but you don't ever want to be anywhere in between.

It's TOUGH to strike out. Believe me. I hate striking out. It's no FUN. It's embarrassing. But there REALLY isn't anything I can do. It's just a part of my GAME.

No one voted for a Brexit that will tie US to the E.U.'s customs rules and PREVENT us STRIKING MEANINGFUL TRADE deals of our own.
