Answer 2

It depends. Do you want to do boxing, kickboxing, grappling(jiujitsu) or MMA. For three of those types you have to just train with people who know the art. Drill the techniques until you're tired of it. Spar constantly. Do lots of cardio. You might could do some weight training that deals specifically with the type of movements you will do in your art. That's about as much as i can tell you. If you're doing the MMA thing, i would suggest training in one grappling art and one striking art. If you notice in the UFC and other associations, people who can fight both standing up and in a grappling situation often win out. At this point everyone knows everyone else's moves. UFC and Pride have been around for over a decade, so all the muay thai and brazilian jiujitsu techniques have been incorporated by just about everyone.

Answer 3

to become a good fighter you need many things, not just strength:

mindset - there's an old adage that says fights aren't won or lost in the ring, but in the mind. the mindset of a fighter is that you have to be ready and know that you are good enough. if there's any doubt in your ability, you've already defeated your own self.

stamina - you always hear 'oh no he's running out of gas'. you don't want that to happen, ever.. work on your stamina, on your ability to last in the ring, not all fights are going to be 1:00 knockouts.. some go the distance. run, jump rope, swim 1-2 hrs a session - 3x a week.. whatever you can do to keep your cardio up, will greatly benefit you in the ring..

technique - i know there are people out there who train for that one big knockout punch. that's all well and good, but what if the guy you're going against has an iron chin, or has such good evasion that a fly couldn't land on him... whatchya gonna do? technique, work on combinations, whether it be in boxing, kickboxing, mauy thai, etc.. if you're doing kickboxing, mauy thai, learn techniques that incorporate hands and feet. make sure that each combination has at least 5 strikes in it.. never stop until your opponent's chin is cold on the canvase.

aggression - most fighters don't have to worry about this, but some do.. if you're standing in that cage and passively looking across at some snarling dude ready to take your head off and you're thinking about the ring girls, that's not good... keep your mind in the game.. get angry at your opponent if you must.. remember he's trying to take food out of your kids mouths, or yours! i know for most fighting is just a job, but you have to think of that guy as someone who's trying to muscle you out of your job..

there's lots more advice i can give about being a good fighter.. but i'm trying to keep it short..

just remember, listen to your trainers, they've been doing it for years, be humble and respectful, keep an open mind and healthy body and you'll do alright, kiddo...

hope that helps, if you have more specific questions just let me know, i'll asnwer as best i can..

Answer 4

Endurance is important, not just aerobic, but anaerobic as well. You didn't say how you are training now or in which style(s). Ideally, you should train for all ranges (kicking, punching, knees/elbows, grappling). You should put the most effort into your weakest areas. You say you are strong, does that mean you can lift very big weights or that you can do a lot of reps with moderate weights? Both are important. In other words, be well rounded.

Answer 5

I also practice martial arts. I recommend having a daily practice. Practice the movements and the combination of movements until your body can act and react without your brain having to be involved. Your brain is there for strategy, not for punching. A great form of exercise for increasing your strength and stamina is swimming. It doesn't damage your knees, hips, and back like running will. It doesn't create scar tissue and stress your joints like weightlifting will. Personally, meditation is also very important. If you can reach a quieter, more focused state of mind, you will be faster, calmer, and more observant. If you can achieve this mind, it will be of good use to you when in a fight and in daily life. Also, face your fears through meditation, introspection, or therapy. If you resolve your fears before the fight and look into the opponent's eyes without fear, then you will easily intimidate him.

Answer 6

fight in a stand up style and a grappling style.
fight many different people.
fight multiple attackers.
fight clean.
fight dirty.
skip rope for cardio, and do hill sprints too.
practise good offensive, not just blocking and attacking, blocking and attacking. A good fighter can keep attacking, not just go tit for tat. a street fight isnt boxing, or turn based, its constant hammering.

you want to fight for the street or ring? either way the list works.

Answer 7

To be a good fighter you should increase the speed of your punches by putting attachable weights on your wrist and practicing with them so each time you take them off you fill faster.

Answer 8

Go boxing.
And I do mean get some proper training. Martial arts are all well and good, but they don't train you in the everyday art of contact fighting. Boxing is one of the toughest and best CV workouts that you can possibly get. You get fit, you get hurt but you get used to that, you learn respect and you learn when to fight and when not to. Nothing better.

Answer 9

What kind of fighting? Different fighting requires different training. Boxing training is different from MMA training, which is different from military hand-to-hand combat training.

Sure, most require cardio, but how long are your rounds?
