How To Know Your Ready?

[patto1984]

It's not that, your under a lot more stress when in an actual fight. You get tired much quicker, than you would relaxed in the gym wailing on a bag that you know won't hit back.

Bag work is a good preparation tool, but can't duplicate the feeling of a fight. Hard sparring will give you a much better indication of how a fight will feel.

i know. Ive said on here b4 my training is about 99% sparring. its just that sometimes with sparring you can get so sharp coming up to a fight, you can toy with your partners and cruise thru the rounds, and not really get tested. Where as on the bag you know that you can test your fitness by pushing yourself.

untill then, ill chill in the shadows

even veterans in the game are still learning, so you might be in the shadows for a while. Y dont you learn on the job.
