These are all great tips.
One of the things I like to look out for, is to never try to force a technique or combo. I got stopped in a fight before, doing that.
What I mean is, say you've been practicing a combo that you really want to try out. You still have to wait for the right opportunity. If it never comes in a fight, so what(yes, I'm talking in the ring). You will have other opportunities.
Oh and also, like Bass Ruten said, stick to the basics. You can always depend on them. Wait until you wear your opponent down, to put him away with the flashy stuff.
And also, if you are good at making opportunities, that will work as well.
The thing I love about fighting is what a mind game it is. I try to explain it to people that don't fight. I tell them it's just like Chess, but the stakes are higher. Every move that you make, has a consequence. And I mean everything. Shifting your weight, tilting your head, where you choose to focus on your opponent. It is truly mindblowing. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn't live without it. I have to hard a time, dealing with the withdrawal symtoms.
And also,(no just joking, I'm done).

Yes, comparing a fight with a chess game is partially correct. However in a fight also speed matters and it matters a lot !!!  |

Are u sure about that? if he's on the defence then he's ready for it, if he's attacking then his focus is on hitting u, well thats my take on it.
