Having ballsed-up many a fight and competition thanks to fight nerves and adrenaline, one of the things I would highly recommend to anyone else who suffers with pre-fight nerves is to have a ‘go to’ technique.<\/p>\n

There’s great potential to freeze and morph into the proverbial rabbit-in-head-lights if you get too nervous.<\/p>\n

That’s why I’d recommend establishing and practicing a\u00a0go-to combination or technique\u00a0like a jab and an inside leg kick.<\/p>\n

Hopefully it will never happen, but if it’s you’re first fight, there’s a chance \u00a0your mind will go\u00a0blank and you’ll be unable to\u00a0mentally run through your itinerary of techniques and subconsciously pick out the best one – as you would in training.<\/p>\n

In fact, I’d extent this to 2 ‘go-to’ stand up combos, and 1 go-to technique when you’re against the ropes\/cage and covering up – you know, when it’s impossible to see or think anything, it’s important to automatically fall into a technique that you’re familiar with.<\/p>\n

Again, I’d suggest familarising yourself with Bruce Lee’s 5 ways of attack, and picking a technique that’s an indirect attack, and a combination for when you’re in normal boxing range. \u00a0Bruce Lee & Anderson Silva (pictured above) was\/is\u00a0big fans of ‘drawing’ opponents, but this normally requires a more relaxed and confident mindset.<\/p>\n
