Getting in shape for combat sports is hard work, but can be a lot of fun. It is essential to train a combination of different body systems including:
Strength
Flexibility
Power
Coordination
Skills
Agility
Most people who fight competitively spend a lot of time working on strength training - to deliver power through either hands or feet it is essential that you have strong legs, and a powerful core.
It's no coincidence that boxers traditionally spend a lot of time on road work, preparing their legs to carry them through a fight.
