How To Fight When You Are Tired

Regarding cardio, there is a saying in fitness that being fit for cardio in an activity makes you fit for cardio in that area. Take someone who can run for two hours at a time, and tell them to attack the heavy bag non-stop, they will be gasping within minutes.


Similarly, take someone who has learned to keep punching and kicking the heavy bag for long periods of time and put them in a pro-wrestling ring where they have to constantly run and take falls, and they will gas out. The best way to train your cardio in an activity is to train your cardio in as close of an activity as you can. Notably, this does get harder if you're training for something like sparring, and don't have a partner to work with.


That as it may be, we are going to look at simple skills on how to fight tired.




1) Look confident.

Keep up your strength. It's a temper. Try not to allow him to gobble up your ground. Try not to allow him to control you mentally. Be tall, be enormous, be pleased. It's alright to be exhausted, don't be out of heart. I know it's simpler to say than to do yet at any rate you can rehearse this when you're in the exercise center.




2) Stall cleverly.

You'll need to slow down without looking dormant. You need to continue to move, stay occupied. Keep him thinking, keep him speculating. You can't in a real sense just lay there on the ropes or keep running out of the tatami and take cover behind the center judge. You need to accomplish something. Continue to move, make a few efforts. Smother his assaults and cover him whenever you find the opportunity. Whatever you do, don't seem as though the urgent person attempting to slow down the battle.




3) Go autopilot.

Can you fight without thinking? I’m not saying to make unintelligently. I’m just saying you should have some smart automatic combinations and movement patterns that you can execute with minimal thought. Waiting until your dead-tired is the not the time to be thinking. If anything, nobody thinks straight when they’re tired. Hopefully you have some great offensive and defensive drills ingrained in you to allow you to fight without having to think.
