Fight training Fighters are made in the ring but champions are made in training camps. If you take a look at any great champion, be it in Jiu-Jitsu, M.M.A., boxing, football, wrestling or really any other sport you want to use for an example. There is one thing that they all have in common. That one thing is DISCIPLINE, and you learn discipline during training. Having the ability to sacrifice things you enjoy such as spending time with your friends and family, eating junk food or going out to party with friends so that you can be able to train everyday before a competition. The willingness to practice hard and make the sacrifices during training that your competition couldn't or just wouldn't is what being a champion is all about. There is an old saying "Fatigue makes cowards out of men" I believe conditioning is a fighter's first line of defense. The better conditioned you are for a fight or game the more confident you'll become. If you have good technique, being in great condition is the best way to ensure you'll maintain that prime level during your event you'll need to win. I hope this drill helps you to take you training to the next level. 10 round fighting drill This drill is split up into 5 sections each section is 2 rounds. Each round is either a 2 or 3 minute round with a one-minute rest in between. 1st 2 rounds boxing 2nd 2 rounds kickboxing 3rd 2 rounds takedowns only 4th 2 rounds Jiu-Jitsu only, no striking 5th 2 rounds Vale Tudo (Mix everything together) You could use the same partner for the whole drill or change to a fresh person at the beginning of each section. This drill should be done at least once a week. After this drill you should be almost dead so go all out! If your not pushed to your limit and passed it you're not training hard enough and you should just go play ping-pong instead of fighting. So grab your gear and your buddies and go train. Make it happen! -Paul Mendoza
