When we condition a gamefowl for the arduous challenges of the long knife, we engage in a deliberate process of honing their innate capabilities to excel in a sport that demands exceptional speed, formidable strength, unwavering gameness, and surgical precision in their cuts. While certain bloodlines inherently possess these attributes, it is through our dedicated training regimens that we can further refine our birds’ agility, bolster their strength, and enhance their accuracy. The Rotation Method elucidated within these pages represents a robust and empirically validated approach to the training of gamefowl, adaptable across various armaments. However, the pursuit of excellence is unending. We must not rest on our laurels; there exists ample opportunity for refinement and enhancement. By embracing innovation and continually seeking advancements, we can elevate what we currently deem the crowning point of conditioning methodologies to even greater heights. This commitment to perpetual improvement ensures that our game birds are not merely trained but are honed to the peak of their potential.

When it comes to conditioning our game birds to compete on the long knife, we are talking about preparing them to master a sport that values speed, power, gameness, and cutting precision. Some breeds of game birds have all these traits. However, we can train our game birds to be more agile, strong, and precise. A fight in the long knife, most of the time, does not last more than 2 minutes. But the way we train them will determine how prepared and strong they are both on the short route and in the fight until the last breath. The Rotation Method we are discussing in this book, for example, is a proven and tested way to train our game birds no matter which weapon of choice is used. But, then, we can't always leave it that way. There is still much we can do to intervene in that matter, if we find ways to further improve what we have already considered as the best conditioning method.If our game birds are already very good and come from a proven and tested bloodline, we can improve them even more with the proper training or conditioning. There are many conditioning methods that we can apply to our game birds and we can train them the way we want. But keep in mind that one of the most important parts of the conditioning of our game birds is the rest period. Our game birds need it so that they can reload, with more staying power, and with more energy to face the most difficult challenges that await them on the day of the fight.

Competing in a blood sport requires a well-conditioned rooster. The preparation is similar to that of a professional fighter who trains for a major bout. You have the option of taking charge of your rooster’s coaching, motivation, fitness, and nutrition. The 21 Days Conditioning Method is an ideal handbook that will guide you through the process of getting your fighting rooster in shape for the event. This manual will enable you to provide your rooster with all the essential elements for a successful performance on the match day.

Each cocker will have a different approach and style when conditioning their gamefowls for competitions, but the goal is the same: to win. A good breeder or cocker knows what is best for his feathered warriors, and is able to acquire this learning through combined experience and science. When asked if all fighting cocks, regardless of their lineage, must undergo one and the same winning formula, he will simply smile and say: “Each lineage has its own conditioning requirements, and each bird has its own unique winning formula.” Each and every game bird has its own time of being in a pointed condition or at its peak during a certain period. So you can always take seriously this valuable advice from experts: “Fight your chickens when they're ready, and not when you're ready.” This book, therefore, aims to give you a complete understanding of how to detect the signs reflected in your roosters indicative of being in their peak fighting form, as well as give you a quick review on lineages of game birds with their corresponding fighting styles, conditioning, and pointing requirements.

Cockfighting has become a very difficult sport to compete, and there is a great need for cockers and breeders to produce the best game birds that can win battles. There is no need to settle for anything less and everyone who loves cockfighting or "sabong" should know what it takes to win and be consistent with it. But there are those who still have no idea what constitutes a suitable game bird for modern cockfighting, which goes back to how a brood cock and a brood hen come together. And while most of us could easily judge game birds by their outward appearance, it is not as important as the blood, brain, and spirit inside, nor is all good game birds exactly the same. But we can always try, to any extent or degree, to recognize the principles of construction that should guide us in the right direction. Our effort has been to highlight through this book the basic and most important knowledge that can be used as a reference on how to raise, breed, and condition game birds, as well as cite common problems every cocker and breeder can find from the shell to the pit and how to overcome them.
