• Think before you attack-- thinking is more important than the actual move.

• Learn from other fighters (at seminars or other training opportunities).
  

• Never stop attacking your opponent. The more you stay focused on the offense the less you have to worry about any defense.

• Do lots of cardio to avoid getting tired during a fight.

• Ground game: When you are on top of your opponent attack the neck, when on the bottom go for triangle chokes.

• Regard  MMA is a lifestyle, not just as a sport or hobby.
  

• Train hard, play hard, fight hard!

• Have a regular training schedule.
