I am trying to prepare for a full contact kickboxing Competition. Can anyone suggest some good conditioning exercises?

Run : ) Also, try punching/kicking a bag as fast as you can for X minutes.

Doing forms is also fun. Start by repeating a form twice without stopping and work your way up.

Good Luck, Edward, I prepare for competitions by doing a lot of cardio exercises to build my stamina. I do a lot of running apart from repeated punching, kicking and technique practice.

However, I also found a very interesting response to a similar question by Professor Gary Lee in Martialcafe.com

learn to relax as much as possible when doing all of it. keep the breath regulated. nothing will kill your chances of competing well faster than tension and irregular breath.
