Video poem idea

For the visual poem I want to go through the struggles of going through the stages of preparing for a fight. I want to definitely show the physical aspects of the training as well as the emotional struggles. I asked my brother and a few of our fighters if I could record them during class, drill and free sparring. What I am trying to decide if I should show the actual fight or just build up to the fight without showing it. For music I am thinking of an inspiring eye of the tiger type theme, or the song Hallelujah.
