Coach a Fighter Training and the 10-Session Cap

Ten trainings, then a match

The game puts a hard ceiling on grinding, and it tells you so directly: "After 10 Trainings, your fighter must do a match to train again."

This is the most important mechanic in Coach a Fighter and it appears in no other written guide. It means progress is a rhythm, not a grind — ten sessions, one fight, repeat. It also means idle-farming a single fighter to the top is impossible by design.

The Money Shop sells a Training Cap upgrade, listed at $200,000 for the first tier (0 > 1), which raises that ceiling.

How you actually assign a session

Walk your fighter to a piece of equipment and the game opens a dialog headed "Select training repetitions — How many times would you like to repeat this training?" with a plus/minus counter and a Start Training button.

You can spend all ten on one station or split them. Splitting is usually right: the stats do different jobs in the ring, and a fighter who is all Power with no Stamina stops throwing before the Power matters.

What each station gives

Equipment labels carry their own stat gains. We have read the Punching Bag directly — it is labelled +1 PWR and +2 DEX, and its upgrade showed a price of $64,300 at that point in the run.

The other stations are visible in the gym but we have not captured their labels at readable resolution yet, so they are listed here as observed-to-exist rather than with invented numbers. Other sites publish a station-to-stat mapping; the one that does contradicts itself on the pull-up bar, which is a good reason not to copy it.

Sparring is a separate gate

Training is not the only prerequisite for fighting. Before an official bout the game requires sparring sessions, and it will block you with a prompt to put your fighter in a sparring match if you skip them.

So the real first-fight sequence is: sign a fighter, train, spar, then enter a league match.
