I don't know about you, but I hate getting punched in the face, and
the stomach, and the liver. Basically, I hate getting hit, and
especially getting humiliated in front of a crowd. Now, to be honest,
I've always been a good fighter, but when I got into more and more
fights, I learned a simple training system for protecting myself. I
tried to be more of a wrestler, I've tried hitting more, and more
blocks, but it all came down to three simple principles...
Endurance - Strength - Speed
Endurance.
If you want endurance, then you're going to need to train... A lot. My
friend, Kyle, he trains all the time, but in the completely wrong way.
The way he trains is very lightly, and trying to build up regular
endurance. Fighting endurance and regular endurance are nothing alike,
and fighting is like doing a series of sprints.
You're fighting as
hard as you can, and for only a few minutes, you're not trying to run a
marathon, alright? You need to train as hard as you can, and for 2-3
minute bursts. Take 1 minute breaks after every training burst.
Make
sure you go for 30 minutes of training, which includes doing
shadow-boxing, push-ups, sit-ups, biceps, whatever. Pack in as much as
you can - doing things for at least 30 seconds each.
Alright, and
you should have also done a lighter version for 15 minutes before that
(as a warm-up). And after you've done the main workout, hopefully you
have a partner that you can spar with. Do this 3x a week, and I prefer
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It's a great workout, and you should do
this for 6 weeks by the way - just saying.
Strength. You build up
your strength with the intense exercise you do (of course). You train as
HARD as you can every single time. You really need to make sure you
warm down, and relax afterward so that you get loose. This workout
really works you up, so you're going to need to relax your muscles -
they will get rock hard. Not even exaggerating, one of these workouts
makes you very tense.
