My First Fight

Every Fighter's greatest battle is his first fight. No matter what kind of fight it may be, No matter what kind of practice you have had, No matter who's your coach, No matter nothing..
Every great champion is decided by his very first fight.

Win It or Lose It.! It doesn't matter. What matters the most is Fighting The Good Fight.


My first fight 

You would have started your fighting carrier just a few months ago. You must be lucky enough, to fight so early, but be sure that you have really had enough training. Don't ask your mind.! It Lies. Ask your Heart, It always has the real Answers. Once you train hard enough, your coach will let you know about the rules and all the complex stuff. Your coach will do say a lot of things you have to do, But he wont be saying you a few things that you will do. Know what's that? No ? Well, that's Fear.

You will eventually get afraid as the day of the fight gets closer and closer.
Well, that's no Bad.
I don't think i need to remind you all this famous saying.,

" FEAR.! It's a fighters best friend.
   If You learn how to control it.. It'll make you Hot and bring you victory.
   But, If you let fear control You.. It'll burn you as well as people around you. "

Kid's there nothing wrong to have fear. But, too much of it and you'll become a target practice for your opponent.

To overcome this the below are some steps you got to follow :

  • Train, Train, Train, Train and Keep Training.! You don't train for others, but for you. Because, when you train for others, you pretend to train. It's of no damn use. You can cheat anybody, but not Yourself. Suffer the Pain of Training, if you don't wanna suffer the Pain of Defeat !
  • Pick Up a Good friend in your Fight club or gym, to be your sparring partner. Sparring has to be done only when you have got all the basics right and half-a-month before your fight. The main objective of sparring is to practice the skills and techniques. You only learn from mistakes, and you can't afford mistakes in your real fight. One wrong move and everything will be done, before you even understand what had happened. Knowing is not enough, you must apply. Once you grow into a professional, you will understand how true the words are.
  • Have a perfect pair of glove for your fists. Keep them special and Never use it for sparring.! I       don't mean you have to keep it new till the final day, What i trying to say is not to use it for punching    the bag and sparring. Be wise in choosing your glove. Once, you become a professional, you'll find a perfect pair for your fist's. Until then, either listen to your coach, or read the previous blog post (Use the below link to read the post) on How to choose A Boxing Glove.

  • As a fighter, you need all kinds of protein and vitamin's.so, Consume Nutritious Food. Milk, Soya milk shake, Egg, Fish, Chicken, Meat, and whatever natural food you like must constitute your daily diet. Avoid eating fried foods and stuffs containing too much fat. Things that don't taste so good, gives just what your body just needs. What you eat has direct effect on your body. And for a fighter, Body needs to be at your service at all times.
  • The most important thing about fighting is, You don't always just Hit, You also get Hit. Unless you're Chuck Norris and you know how to slip the jab as good as him, you must condition your body to take the Hit. You have to withstand all the hits, take the pain and survive. Only then you have a shot at winning. Most fighters concentrate on conditioning from the very beginning before even working on their jabs. Trust me, that's a wise decision.
  • Last, but not the least, Do Not Take Any Form Of Drugs to Enhance Your abilities. This is never going to help you. And that's not the way of a True Warrior. And also, i need not remind you the consequences you'll be facing, how much humiliation you will have to undergo once you get caught. The worst part is, you will be banned from the sport. The Life which you have lived for all those days, will no longer be yours. Nobody would never , ever want that.
  • Sleep ! Have enough sleep each and every night. What many of us don't realize is that, our mind does more and more training, by processing all that we have learned during the day, while we sleep. So, sleep well, and you do yourself more good.

Once you follow the above steps and do it in your way. You will be ready for the big day of your life, Your First fight.


A personal advice from me is that. its not bad to have a Lucky something with you for every fight, like a cuff link or something. Every fighter has something like this. Its clearly, not about luck. Its just about the driving potential it has on you.


On the day of fight, try to be as calm as possible. Engage in spiritual prayers. Just remember that, if your opponent is also a debutant like you, then, you know that you have followed all the above instructions, and he hasn't. You surely do have an upper hand because, your opponent must be tensed and must be fearing about the fight. But, your not.!

If your facing an opponent who has already a couple of fight experiences, just remember that, this is your first bout, he knows nothing about your style, strengths,attributes,weaknesses. But, you'll get some information on him, he'll take some time to figure you out. This is a strength and you can dominate him, if you clearly understand what your going to do.

Never play the game as it comes, it means you are going in your opponents plan. Fix a plan and execute it, make him fall in your plan. Of course, Fighting is 90% from the Skull and 10% from the Body. Just do the basics right and when you get the right time, just pound on him. Unleash the beast in you. No cheap shots, just follow the rules. Never give up in a fight. There nothing more humiliating for a fighter. But, you know the limits. In extreme situations, you have to tap out.

Every time you go to the ringside, forget all the shits that goes through your mind, and listen to your mind. It may sound easy, but that's the hardest thing to do. Give the mind to your coach and converse with him. He might say something simple, but that would be the key to change the fight. Do Follow It. Exchange good word's like if you do well in a round, say "I'm doing better than i thought" or if you didn't do well, say "I'll get him in the next round"

Once you hear the final bell, just get this in have fought into your mind, "You have fought a Good Fight". The Rest is left to the decision of officials. Win or Lose, you have fought the good fight and You're going out the way you got to go Out ! Don't forget to appreciate your opponent. and also his coaches and the match referee. Come out of the ring as a Good Fighter.


This must be your My First Fight.
