fight preparation

The preparation for a fight is as important mentally as it is physically. To be strong and in shape is great but if you don’t have the competitive mindset theres no point in fighting because you will lose.  But if you are a spectator of the sport which is who i am writing this to you don’t have to worry about your mindset before you watch fights. The reason i say you will lose is because either you are all in or all out before a fight if it is in the gray area then your mind isn’t in the right place. I try to base my training camps on how the pros do, trying to duplicate there success for myself, but at the same time my training is basic. Just hard work. I show up to train and let my coaches do the rest, i trust there training that ill be ready for the fight. I work hard because i don’t know how else to be successful, if any of you figure out another way to be successful please let me know. I usually train between 10 and 14 hours a week, so between working 15 hours a week school 13 hours a week, plus homework my schedule is pretty full. I enjoy being busy though it keeps me focussed and allows me to ignore any distractions. I am still in deciding wether i will fight oct 2nd against my parents will or not. I need to decide soon i am preparing for the fight physically like i’ve decided, but like i said i need to be all in mentally.

  1. So you run training camps? I would really like to hear some details about specific training exercises and manuevers! Also, do you have any video? Or pictures? Put them up here! Wouldn't your audience rather see what you're talking about rather than read too much text?

  2. So what do you consider yourself primarily? Do you prefer ground game or stand up? My uncle is a Purple belt in Ju Jitsu and used to train at the same gym Chuck Liddell trained at so I find this stuff all very interesting, though I'm sure I would get killed if I ever tried this stuff though...
