Hey you! Welcome to the GAF Fight Club!
This game is the closest thing to a fighting simulator you are going to find. Jump in and learn the "sweet science" of boxing as well as get into better shape.
(All without losing teeth isn't that nice?)

=====RULES & REGULATIONS
1) The First Rule
The first rule of the club is that we're here to have fun and learn from each other.
** We train each other to be better (so we can go pound other strangers in ranked battles).
If you run into a glitcher online in a ranked battle just drop the game. Its not worth your time. Idiots like that exist in every game out there and this game (most likely) has its share.
2) Setup your PS3 Move Area
This game does track 1:1 speed if everything is setup well and calibrated correctly.
Head tracking is absolutely a must. You can also do it by pressing the X button to simulate head tracking... but it works so much better when you have real head tracking working its not funny.
I don't normally do this but for this game I setup a white sheet/curtain on the wall behind me and used two soft light fluorescent lamps on either side of me (like torches in a throne room).
A setup like this can work great with flawless tracking even at night.
You should also have a video/camera of some kind ready to upload replays to youtube.
This will be necessary so that we can comment on the matches and study them.
3) Raise your stats in the gym
You need at least reasonable stats to play this game. Raise a main character up routinely to get them to a high level for advanced gaming. For tournament fights of pure skill we might also create secondary characters and set all the character stats to some "defined" stat level. (TBD)
4) Learn boxing basics
*** You can absolutely play this game by flailing your arms around or you can use proper punching and technique. The developers of the game PURPOSEFULLY created this game to reward good technique. Its in the code of the game. There's no debate here if you want to be better you should learn good boxing technique.
Gaf member Freshmaker was kind enough to point us to a good boxing tutorial:

There's a real fun Manga/Anime known as Hajime no Ippo (aka Fighting Spirits DVD in usa) which actually covers a lot of boxing topics in the course of the story.

That's not to say this is just a boxing simulator. There are dirty moves and other things which can make the game a bit "interesting". The sweet science of boxing is just a little bit sweeter here.
5) Basic Training Advice
TBD
6) Advanced Training Advice - Fighting Styles
TBD
7) Stats Explanation
Strength:
How much damage you do.
Speed:
Increase lean and walk speed. High speed makes quick combos drain less stamina.
Stamina:
Affect how fast/slow stamina bar is reduced when punching.
Heart:
Controls health regeneration, if you got max heart and is not getting hit for a while the health (the red bar) will start to fill up to max 50%. (it takes pretty long time so it's not that easy to notice).
Chin:
Affect how easy you're to knock out (white bar in health).
Tech:
How fast you autorotate towards opponent + autoaim when using dualshock/sixaxis.
