Fight to Win.

Fight to win. Train to fight.

A "street fight" sparring session this weekend with a select handful of training partners opened up some eyes.

One of the "sport" oriented fighters found himself seriously behind the curve when the hitting began. A couple of slight adjustments solved the problem, but probably because he is very highly trained and highly capable.

But the shock for many people in this position is how differently everything appears when your sparring partner is replicating a street fight versus a sport fight.

Please, please make sure that you add realism to your training. The time to make adjustments is in training, not when you are on the street.
