How To Training Fighting Sport

Fighting sports are unique, they can be learned by everyone because they can be modified for non athlete people as aerobic - self defense training.

Most fighting sports like Boxing and Muay Thai are never use "Colorful Belts" rank system because their training syllabus are simple. Unlike in martial dance clubs (like Wushu Taolu and Karate Kata) which have more complex syllabus, fighting sports syllabus is far far fewer so they no need complex rank system.

Some schools like traditional Kenpo use very simple Mudansha (white belt / student) and Yudansha (black belt / teacher) belts just for identity at dojo.

1. Warming Up

Begin your training with stretching exercise slowly. After finished, the coach must always asking the students is their still okay & nobody feel tired/hurt (checking the injury).

2. Basic Techniques Training

Train all 8 basic techniques in 10 counts repetition for each techniques calm and slowly. The goal is to training the technique form, to help the brain memorize those techniques, build the combat reflect and to avoid injury (this is just training, not real fight!!).

The coach must always asking the students is their still okay and nobody feel tired/hurt everytime they finished the drill.

Once finished, take a short break for 30 or 60 seconds.

3. Basic Techniques Training With Southpaw/Mirrored Stance

Same with previus basic techniques training, but now using Southpaw Stance (right hand & right foot placed on the front). For example: Jab Punch using right hand, Cross Punch using left hand, Front Kick using left foot and more.

The coach must always asking the students is their still okay and nobody feel tired/hurt everytime they finished the drill.

Once finished, take a short break for 30 or 60 seconds.

4. Advanced Techniques Training

Choose 1 of these advanced technique sets. Train them one-by-one alternately on different training days, don’t force it too much in 1 training day:

- Blocking

- Trapping

- Intercepting

Once finished, take a short break for 30 or 60 seconds.

5. Sparring Fight

High risk training for professional athletes only, sparring with classmates using proper body protectors. Professional athletes have organization / sponsor who always supporting their medical fees whenever they injured while sparring or fighting tournament.

6. Cooling Down 

End your training with cooling down slowly.
