Upgrade #1 - Running Attacks
Info: Run toward opponent, then press: kick for running kick, punch for running 
punch, and jump kick for a running jump kick.
Objectives: Perform 12 running attacks. Survive session. 
You have 58 seconds to complete this session to receive the upgrade. Wooden targets 
drop down at the four corners of the training area. Run toward each target and 
perform any of the new running attacks--run at the target and press the punch, 
kick, or jump kick button. You can use the same button; it won't affect success. 
The fifth target is a dummy. Perform another running attack. The remaining targets 
are a mix of wooden (at the corners) and dummies. Get the upgrade by performing 
running attacks on everything. 

Upgrade #2 - Back Attacks
Info: When opponent is behind you, use: kick for back kick, punch for back punch, 
and jump kick for back jump kick.
Objectives: Perform 12 back attacks. Survive session. 
You have 58 seconds to complete the session to receive the upgrade. Remain in the 
ring's center and allow the targets to drop behind you. When a target drops, press 
the directional control away from the target and hit a punch, kick, or jump kick 
button. After performing the attack and destroying the target, remain in the same 
position. The next target should drop behind you. 
If you get outside the ring, destroy the current target and repeat the process. If 
you start moving around too much, you'll get out of position and won't be standing 
in front of targets facing the opposite directions. Destroy a target and allow the 
next to drop behind to begin the process again.

stomp, punch for elbow drop, and jump kick for slamming flip.

Perform ground attacks to defeat them and move on to the next. The super stomp 
(stand next to the dummy and press kick) is the fastest of the three moves. All 
dummies appear on the ground and are viable ground attack targets so keep super 
stomping, elbow dropping, or slamming flipping to finish the session and receive 
the upgrade.

combo, you must first stun the dummies during the trial. Punch or kick the dummies
