Any tips, ideas, motivational strategies any of you fellow fighters can offer? Doesn't neccesarily have to apply to MMA.
My $0.02 :-

Probably obvious but worth saying anyways ...
  • work on your basic techniques and know them backwards - it's no good trying to build upon weak foundations.
  • don't get fixated on any one technique - your the goal to destroy the opponent any way possible
  • learn your personal strengths and weaknesses (via randori, talking to training partners, sensei, etc); build on your strengths, eliminate your weaknesses.
  • work on chaining techniques together
  • understand the weakness of a technique, and what kind of technique you can easily switch to when your opponent exploits a weakness of the first technique
  • work on unconscious imprinting - you want to be able to switch techniques without thinking
  • work on your basic conditioning so you can endure your 2x 6 minute rounds without tiring (too much... ;-) ). ie train to be less tired than your opponent.
  • learn to feel your opponents’ strengths and weaknesses, keep him out of his areas of expertise.
  • don’t forget your mental game !
Hope this helps.
