COMBAT TRAINING
Combat traininng is very essential for developing your skill to its highest potential and to better prepare yourself for whats out there on the street. Take this seriously and train to your utmost. In time you'll see your skill improve to an impressive level.
Train for enviorment-
Always train for your surroundings and where you'll most likely be. If you usually go to clubs and bars where you'll find yourself in small spaces, training in a kicking art wont benefit you. Or if you're on hills or ice...jumping is out of the question and hands stands are also.
Train for multiple attacks-
Along with regular training also think of someone having a friend. When you go out to eat usually you're with friends. So are they. So when training think of you being attacked by others also. With this in mind you'll make them fight your fight. Ground fighting is great and an awesome supplement but not suited for multiple attacks. Make your primary art best suited for this in mind.
Learn tactics and strategies-
Train with enviorment in mind. Sticks and pipes are weapons of oppurtunity. Snow and ice as away to slow your opponent down. Use economy of energy: use only what energy you need. Use feints to confuse you them and give you openings to strike. Control the rhythm of the fight. Like dancing fighting has rhythm and one leads. Be that one who leads because its to your advantage. And breaking that rhythm to confuse them will give you even more oppurtunities.

You can prevent your opponent from defeating you through defense, but you cannot defeat him without taking the offensive.
