how do you increase anaerobic endurance needed to sustain a fight?was in a real fight with a guy sometime back

Question

wont say the reasons but we started by trading punches and kicks at each other but end up going on the ground tryin to choke and armlock each other while throwin the occasional shot with neither of us gaining any real advantage.it lasted for abt 5 min before 2 guys came forward to break us up.after that i was using every effort to stand up and i felt totally exhausted.my metabol rate was ard 1700 and i can run for 40min straight and my opponent was slightly bigger built than me but i sense that he too was tired by not going at me again.i mean i hav seen no hols barred fights that can last for up to 1 hr.just how do i get that kind of fitness?

Answer 1

As for the other guys answer....
"Rolling on the ground looking for armlocks is not fighting".?
I tell you what go out find a Judoka, JuJitsuist or a wrestler and pick a fight see if they agree with you...

When you are fighting there is a sudden raise in adrenoline, blood preasure and heart rate. This increases the need for oxygen and blood flow. When you are running or working out in a controled environment even if you are sparing in a dojo. You are prepared and know what is coming so you relax and go with the flow and you are able to last longer. But in a fight you have no idea what is going to happen next and there is fear on top of all the other things going on which drain your energy faster.
When running you have no resistance. When fighting there is a force pushing against yours making your movement twice as hard. It would be like runing while draging a heavy weight behind you.
Unfortunatly no matter how much you train you are not gurenteed to go the distance in a fight weather it be planned or not. And aeven if you do most people will agree after a fight and the adrenoline is gone and your heart rate slows you become very tired.

As for the pro fighters they have been doing it for years and they know their bodies very well. They spend more time training on cardio then they do fighting so that they are ni the best shape. Read interviews they all say a fight is 90% cardio and 10% fighting ability. They'vwe all been training for so many years their fighting is second nature so they can afford to spend more time running etc... Rarely will you see on of the top fighters gasing out in a fight. GSP, Silva, Hughes, Couture, Rampage, Sherk.... They spend 75% if not more of their time doing cardio and strength training.

So for a real fight on the street just fight defensively. In a controlled fight pace your self do'nt try and beat the guy in the first minute, just hold him off enough so that he gasses out then you can take advantage of him when he is tired.

Swiming is a great way to build cardio and stamina. Also try running with a mini parashute or have someone tie a rope around your waste and have them give you resistance, suicides are also great...

Answer 2

Here comes the part where you get the answer you don't like.

First off - rolling on the ground and trying to put someone in an arm lock is NOT a fight.

Secondly - the reason you ran out of energy and stamina is because running is very different from battle. Different muscles are used, different areas of the body are stressed, and it's mental as opposed to running where you can zone out and just move your body. You were also probably scared, and fighting that off takes energy as well. Honestly, from a martial arts standpoint, your movements were probably wide and open, not very controlled, and wild. That takes a deal of energy as well.

Now, how can you increase your stamina in a fight, should you ever actually get into one? By fighting. This is the only way to truly increase your skill in battle. You can spar if you join a dojo, but it'll never come to the same thing. Your major misconception here is that running is the same as a fight. It's not, let go of that and train for fighting if that's what you want, though I wouldn't look up to UFC type junk as a goal.

Edit -
To the student of Judo who responded - I won't pick a fight, but I may accept a challenge.

i forget the figure something like 95% of all fights end up on the ground as a grapiling match unless its in a ring and rules are followed,a 5 min all out fight is a long fight ,boxers only go for 3 min rounds.running and sprints will help with indorance as with any cardio .sparing will help because it will help you control the adrianline dump that happens when you are in a real fight,which causes tunnel vision,auditory exclution ,rapid breathing and heart rate .then there is always the "dont fight unless you absolutely have to training meothod.

Answer 4

Control of breathing is extremely important for endurance. It is very easy when the adrenalin is pumping to start shallow breathing. This will rob your blood supply of oxygen and as the adrenalin needs oxygen to break it down you get an overload of adrenalin and other hormones that build up in the muscles. The body than gores into an automatic defense mode of its core organs a state similar to shock. you become extremely tired as the blood supply goes more to the core of the body.
Try to control your breathing to take deep breaths at regular intervals avoid panting and shallow gasps as much as you can.
Also when you train due a 30 min. aerobic routine with weights. Increase the hand weights to at least 5lbs.

Answer 5

What you are talking about is operating in your lactate and phosphate energy systems... Purely doing cardio is not enough. You should do a few sessions of bucket training... ie anything that pushes your heart rate to the maximum effort, sprint until you can't sprint anymore and then go for 5 extra seconds and repeat... basically anything that makes you feel like you want to barf.

One word of advice is that when you start to feel dizzy and like you;ll throw up walk around slowly and only sip your water. if you stop moving or gulp your water you will throw up. If you do this training right you will feel sick every time.

Answer 6

Try taking up Boxing and Wrestling. Both sport involve short intense bursts of strength followed by intervals of inactivity then more bursts of adrenalin over a set number of rounds.
