Train How You Fight: Fight How You Train

Train How You Fight: Fight How You Train. Notice I wrote that as a proportion. Your attitude and intensity in training is directly proportional to your performance in competition; or in real world application, how you fight. Sometimes we call this muscle memory.

With that in mind, for what type of "fight" are you training. We all aren't tactical operators, street cops, gang investigators, special forces, military ground pounders or fire fighters. They should train how they fight, be in the best physical and mental condition of their lives, because, as we know from 9/11, it is our first responders who train to save lives and give their lives. In combat, in rescue scenarios, tactical entries, street fights, gang round ups, etc. they're only as good as they train. Any deficiency in how they train falls into a void (the training void) under stress, with sometimes deadly consequences.

The same holds true for you. Whether or not you consider yourself an athlete, you will perform in life and in competition, the way you train. How do you train?
