1 Be a good puncher and kicker. Practice 100 punches per day Don't rush into it if you can't do 100 punches yet do baby steps and eventually work up 100 punches/kicks. It can be any punch/kick as long as you're getting a workout. If you don't have a heavy bag punch the air. When your punches get good enough add wrist weights or dumbbells, but be careful, because they can hurt your joints. Remember to do them slowly.
Be sure to use proper form. Learn how to align your shoulder, elbow and wrist properly, so that you can deliver a lot of force while staying stable and withstanding the returning force. Otherwise, you risk breaking your hand.[1]X Expert Source Adrian TandezSelf Defense TrainerExpert Interview
2 Work out hard till you can do: 100 pushups, situps, squats, pullups and when you get strong enough, work on their variations like 1 arm pushup or pistol squat, etc. Give your muscles a break for 1-3 days. Try to make your own routine. And use proper form. Never use ankles weights when kicking. Advertisement
3 Practice handstands until you are able to walk on your hands for at least 10 seconds.
4 Increase your jumping power. Whether it be plyometrics or jumping over a chair. Just strengthen that explosive power.
5 Spar with a friend but remember to use boxing gloves and protective equipment. Go all out but play it safe. Be aware, however, that punching with gloves on and without them (like in a street fight) are two very different ways of fighting.[2]X Expert Source Adrian TandezSelf Defense TrainerExpert Interview
6 Enhance your agility. Practice your flips as much as you can and learn safe rolls.
7 Run as fast as you can. Find 200 yards (182.9 m) of space and try to run it in the fastest time possible. Proper form is important.
8 Learn to block, grapple, dodge and trap. Practice drills with friends or homemade dummies. Look to a Martial Arts instructor, books, or online for help.
9 Stretch 5-7 days a week for 10 minutes till you can do the splits. Do dynamic stretches before a workout and static stretches to cool down after.
10 Practice Parkour or Gymnastics to get the feeling of fast intense movement and learning to trust your body's movements. Parkour can be practiced virtually anywhere.
11 In a fight always look for the quickest and simplest way to defeat your opponent.
If possible, control the distance and don't let the opponent to come too close to you.[3]X Expert Source Adrian TandezSelf Defense TrainerExpert Interview
Have an offensive mindset to end the fight as quickly as possible. In a real fight, you have seconds to finish it.[4]X Expert Source Adrian TandezSelf Defense TrainerExpert Interview
12 Shadowbox or hit the heavy bag to increase your hand-eye coordination and speed. Make your own combinations too and don't work too hard because our bodies aren't as strong as Goku's. Bruce Lee, Martial Artist and Actor
I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. A fight is not won by one punch or kick.

Question What is Goku's fighting style? Stephanie Paz Anime and Dragon Ball Expert Stephanie Paz is an anime content creator and Dragon Ball expert based in Florida, best known online as SSJGoshin4. She has been creating anime content on YouTube since 2009, making her one of the longest-running Dragon Ball creators on the platform. She has built a loyal community of more than 400,000 followers across social media, with her videos reaching over 21 million views. Stephanie’s content highlights her knowledge of Dragon Ball’s history, collectibles, and cultural legacy. Her expertise has earned her international recognition, including a feature on Fuji TV in Japan showcasing her extensive Dragon Ball collection. She has appeared as a guest panelist at conventions, leading discussions on the impact of Dragon Ball in shaping anime culture in the U.S. With a bachelor’s degree in Media Studies from Florida Atlantic University and experience in video production and social media strategy, Stephanie combines her passion for anime with storytelling and community engagement to inspire fans worldwide. Stephanie Paz Anime and Dragon Ball Expert Expert Answer I'd say Goku isn’t the kind of fighter who always thinks several steps ahead. Some fighters are super strategic and plan every move, but he’s not really like that. He kind of fights based on instinct and how he feels in the moment instead of having a strict plan. And even though he is not always tactical, he always finds a way to win, especially when it comes to protecting his friends and family. When he goes Ultra Instinct, though, that’s a whole different level. In that form he becomes exactly what the name says he fights purely on instinct and can react to the next move almost instantly. So overall, he isn’t super calculated most of the time, but his instinct and heart end up working in his favor. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.Thank you for your feedback.

Joseph Bautista Self-Defense Specialist, Martial Arts Instructor, & 1st Aid/CPR Instructor Expert Answer Everyone has different strengths, different weaknesses, and different comfort levels. If you're a person who doesn't like being close to people, don't go for a type of martial arts that only does grappling. If you're a person who likes using your hands, don't go to a kicking school. Each martial art has its specialties. Do your research on the different styles that are available in the area that you want to train. Visit them and see if that environment is conducive to your learning capability, your learning style, and for you as a person. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.Thank you for your feedback.
