How to Increase Your Fight IQ?

You may have heard someone refer to a fighter or coach as "having a high fight IQ," which means they have a great understanding of strategies, angles, and performance. These are the fighters who rely on intelligence, instead of brute strength. Here are 3 ways to increase your IQ within the fight world, whether it's for boxing or MMA. Who do you think is the fighter with the highest IQ?

Apparently my new favorite word is "actively".

I heard that wearing fight tips gloves increase your fight IQ by 100 points

I was always told that you cannot learn how to fight by watching videos on Youtube, but ever since I discovered your channel, I must say I've learned quite a bit. I'm sure it's not comparable to going and training at an actual gym, but I finally figured out how to throw punches and shadowbox through your videos and through My Fight Gym's Basic Access videos. I'm certainly much more confident about my movements now than I was before discovering this channel and I'm sure I'll have a much easier time picking things up when I start training at a gym, than I would have earlier.

I can attest to the effectiveness of all three of these strategies. More difficult than not to do the first, my city is a bit of a fighter dry area, but I apply the last two every day.

Thanks for the tips shane, you hace always been a big inspiration on my defense strats and offense strats when it comes to fighting and training

Nice Tips! The best one I got is to always be present with your mind during training and especially sparring. Concentration is key to improving your skills!

Just like the GSP Hendricks fight people say Hendricks won but when you mute the fight you see that George won 3 Rounds out of 5

[gauravkr]

love the video man keep it up the good work.... I learned a lot from your videos

[bearstriker]

Jon Jones, GSP, and floyd have some of the best fight IQ EVER. I like the point you made about strategy and not just doing random cardio, that's something I've recently discovered with a coach.

Btw, I miss fighttips furoms! good times...
