- What Do You Need To Be A Fighter?
By: Calasanz Martinez | - When I talk about being a good fighter, I mean "competitive fighting." Competitive fighting is different from street fighting. Street fighting is a no-holds barred proposition where any dirty tactic will do. On the streets, you fight to ward off a non-deadly attack or to kill when dealing with a deadly confrontation. In the dojo or ring it's different.
So what makes a good competitive fighter? First you absolutely need to have the raw physical qualities that can be developed by ...
