Fighting is not the way to solve most problems. However, more and more men and women want to learn how to protect themselves and their loved ones during this turbulent time.
The right approach to fighting
First of all, you need to understand that it is impossible to learn how to fight in a short time. After all, you need to go through psychological, physical and combat training. Without going through any of these stages, you are unlikely to make a good fighter.
Choose the type of wrestling you want to do. For street fights (situations of open aggression outside the ring or hall), judo, boxing, kickboxing, combat karate or freestyle wrestling are best suited. All these types of martial arts are good because they are really hit and really taught to get away from the blow. Within the framework of these arts, they explain and show how to hit the pain points.
The secret is an integrated approach
Once you choose to fight, tune in to a lengthy learning process. Mastering the technique of fighting, bringing the body into the desired physical shape will take at least a couple of years. To build muscle mass, supplement wrestling activities with general physical preparation - exercises with a barbell or dumbbells, running or swimming. Such exercises develop endurance and strength, accelerate reaction and temper character. Both wrestling and physical training should be regular. At the same time, it is very important to increase the load gradually. Ideally, you should coordinate your general physical training with your wrestling coach. He will help you choose the right training rhythm, determine the correct level of load.
The undoubted advantage of any serious martial arts club is the ability to fight a live opponent. You cannot get practical skills without real, contact training. Books and theoretical courses will not give you the experience or information that can be obtained during the first contact sparring under the guidance of an experienced coach.
Don't be afraid to ask your coach questions that you might think are silly. If you don't understand something during your workout, be sure to check the details right away. Unexpected gaps in combat technique or theoretical knowledge can prove to be the worst in critical situations.
Emotion is a very important aspect of preparing for a fight. Most civilized people have a kind of psychological barrier in their heads that does not allow them to hurt other people. It is necessary to learn to bypass this barrier in a situation of open threat, freeing the instinct of self-preservation. The coach will most likely tell you about the methods of bypassing this barrier, and sparring with opponents approximately equal to you will help get rid of the fear of pain and combat.
