The following are 3 Good Test to give yourself to find out where you are at in strength and cardio. I would suggest doing this while not training for a fight or tournament to get a good baseline for this test. Then when a fight or tournament get’s closer say 2 to 4 weeks out do these test and find out if you are right on with your training or need to kick it in gear. When you have a fight where your cardio and strength is exactly where you want it to be at look back at the test results and shoot for those before ever fight or tournament.

- 4 Jump Test
While vertical testing is great, it only shows you 1 rep power. What’s great about the 4 Jump Test is that it shows you if your athlete is elastic and can maintain power.
- 4 Jump Long Jump
This is another good test for lower body power and elasticity. It’s also fun to do in team settings, as you can mark the floor with tape or marker.
- 20 Yard Shuttle Test
Here’s a new one I just came up with that I’ve been playing around with. The athlete runs 20 yards and back 6x (120 yards total) all out.
