I’m not looking for advice on how to physically strike, ive been training on and off for about 2 years and have decent physical fundamentals.

My problem is my lack of instincts and knowledge for fighting. I don’t know how to engage, what to look for in an opponent, what combos to throw and why, what combos to string together, how to predict my opponents moves, etc.

I mainly train for self defense, so in other words, although I can throw a punch, I am worried I would have no idea what to do in a real fight, and that all my training will have been for nothing.

What has helped you guys with this? Im down to read books or watch instructional videos of whatever you have in mind. Thank you!
