How to Develop a Winning Fight Strategy

The art of war isn't just about who has the better weapons -- executing the proper strategy is the true key to victory. One must study the ways of Sun Tzu, tricking your opponent into fighting your fight. Whether you're preparing for a boxing, MMA, or Muay Thai match, these concepts will help with all forms of combat.

How to form a fight strategy:
1. Use your probes
2. Set traps
3. Use your strengths & their weaknesses
4. Keep a trick up your sleeve
5. Have a backup plan

An additional point to tip #3: study fighters that have a similar body-type/style to yours, and take notes ✏🗒 on what does and what doesn't work for them... and understand why.

Bob is secretly planning a 5 step strategy to knock Shane out. He has that killer instinct look. That combo breaker into an ultra combo look.

Shane’s lost it, this quarantine is making him talk to bob, all jokes aside thanks Shane!

[joshuawinters]

Shane’s quick “Owee” after the teep spoke to me, knowing that it was so automatic for him to say it LOL.

[harlemdeni]

This quarantined Shane and his talks to Bob are amazing. 😂

I've been doing Muay Thai (in a "real" gym) now for about a year. My dad trained me for several years before i joined the gym (but in "american" kickboxing)... But for real, when i first got into that gym and did my first few heavybag sessions, my coach didn't believe, that i just started training. Also my first time sparring was against one of the better fighters in that gym. This is where your Videos get in. I was watching many fighttips videos, so that i had strategies, clean technique etc. and was able to knock the guy down several times. He still kicked my ass but still, this was such a success for me personally. Your videos really help me a lot, thanks👌

Like micky said to rocky if you want to beat apollo you have to change everything. rocky was left handed and micky said learn to use your right hand to surpsrise him and apollo was surprised.

Setting traps, as you describe it, is a similar concept to fighting games to conditioning/training your opponent. You would throw out a move over and over to train your opponent to react a certain way and then later in the match, you would throw that same move to get them to react that specific way with a different follow up.

Reminds me of one of my all time favorites I learned from you: 3 outside low kicks, then with N°4 step in, cut through with the arm and trip him over the stepping 'kick-leg'

[ryanespiritu]

Love Tip #3!! I watch a lot of Canelo bc of his body type and the opponents he fights. he’s usually the shorter but stockier fighter, and he loves to go the body. I’ve based so much of my style of off his movement and strategy! Thanks Shane!

[xdude]
