It's vital to have basic combat training in place early on in the game. This is because it's important that your fighters have access to the gym's basic equipment while they're being trained. By hiring trainers early, you can ensure this happens. Most of your fighters start out as boxers. This makes them vulnerable to wrestlers with wrestling techniques who can easily apply submissions to them. It's important to train your boxers in submission combat early on to help avoid this outcome. Advertisement After investing time and energy into perfecting their fighters, rewards start to pay off. This is because the game gets increasingly addictive as more people come into your gym. This leads to getting better trainers and fighters entered into more prestigious competitions. Any fighting fan will enjoy this process!

You need trained gym staff to operate the equipment you build. Without them, your fighters wouldn't be able to use the equipment. And you need knowledgeable trainers to build a top-notch gym. Prioritizing this is imperative, therefore it should be your first move. Coaching fighters gives them extra gym and ring experience that helps them improve at both. Creating your own fighters gives them a slight weight advantage. Maxing out a weight class grants them a fighting advantage in the ring. Advertisement A fighter can immerse themselves in the unique perks that grant them an edge in combat. They’d better embrace this unique opportunity because it’s the only way to achieve that goal. Although starting out, don't worry about multi-use equipment. Instead, focus on stocking your gym with as many options as possible. A gym needs high prestige in order to gain more clout; you can increase prestige by completing quests that appear every day. These daily quests pay well and allow you to purchase more equipment or hire additional fighters. Early in the game, you don’t need to hire the best coach. Just find someone who can train your fighters. This will help your fighters improve early on.
