The Mindset of a Thaiboxer with John Bullock

The Mindset of a Thaiboxer with John Bullock

British Thaiboxing Champion John Bullock on the fighter’s mindset—discipline, composure under pressure, and how ring craft translates to business, stress management and everyday performance.


In this episode, Paul Corke talks with John Bullock—British Thaiboxing Champion and entrepreneur. John fought professionally for eight years, winning the British Lightweight Title in 1983. After retiring from the ring, he built and sold a successful property business, and now runs Pain Point Coach, using experiential learning to help people overcome stress and become the best version of themselves.

We explore how an elite fighter prepares, performs and recovers—and how the same principles power clear thinking, better decisions and resilience at work and in life.

You’ll hear:

  • The fighter’s mindset: discipline, consistency and doing the basics brilliantly

  • Composure under pressure: pre-performance routines, focus cues and recovery between “rounds”

  • Translating ring lessons to business: risk, adaptability, preparation and after-action reviews

  • Practical ways to tackle stress using experiential learning and controlled challenges

  • How this links to Paul’s Mindset Equation (Aspiration, Belief, Drive/Motivation, EQ, Resilience, Learning Agility)

Try this (5×1 routine):
Run five 1-minute “rounds” before a demanding task:

  1. Breathe (inhale 4, exhale 6)

  2. Cue (one word you want to embody, e.g., “calm” or “sharp”)

  3. Visualise the first correct action

  4. Execute that first action

  5. Reset (shake out, small smile) and repeat
