There is training for general health and fitness and there is training for martial fitness.

Yes, good point. Since general health is needed/desirable all of the time (by most people), and martial fitness is needed only occasionally, if at all, I would argue that general health should be viewed as being vastly more important. After all, general health serves as the basis for everything we do in life, and a high level of general health also provides the best foundation for martial fitness.

For competetive sport fighting one needs both but certainly a greater degree of stamina in order to go the distance in a multi round fight. Ashe is best suited to address this aspect as he is very knowledgeable about fitness and has fought competetively.

Didn't Ashe have some concerns that his knees would survive the intensive conditioning needed for fight preparation? Thus each person needs to find a balance: at what point does martial fitness begin to have a negative impact on our general health?
In I Liq Chuan terms, it's important to "know your limits", and not go beyond a point that is damaging to your body/spirit.
