Training Primary or Secondaries

As far as I know, if you have even a little money at your disposal (for gym fees), you can get FAR better results by starting with training secondaries in 1on1 or 1on2 sessions with elite trainers. Usually cheap sparring gyms have a shit ton of members with loads of people at sparring sessions (some with very good primaries to give the sessions value), so they are a viable option for cheaper budgets (you should still aim for 6-7 circuit trainings / week with elite coah).

Depends on the age of the fighter/when you plan on fighting IMO. Primaries make the biggest difference in game but honestly I wouldn't worry about sparring if you plan on training with the fighter for months and months beforehand. Training secondaries make your primaries grow faster than vice versa IIRC. Another big thing most forget is that physicals play a HUGE part. Always a good idea to beef up on the physicals for a couple weeks-months before fighting for the first time (newly created fighter).

Got it, thanks.

 

Is there a preferred time to spar, vs training secondaries?

 

If it's an 18 yr fighter around age 20 but you can mix some in earlier if you want. Get cardio up first BTW so you can train all week. Keep training secondaries and CT once you start sparring too. Different story for 25 yr guys as they are ready to fight right away. Again you will find different opinions on this but you need to look ahead at secondary skills as you can't have all of them and they train fastest when you're young.

Thanks again brother, you’re very helpful.
