Sorry but you get replies based on peoples understanding of what you ask.
If most people here don't really do a lot of martial arts type training, they may not be able to help you.
Asking for lots of replies is bad show. I'm not ragging on you, but you're going to have to stop asking us, to do this or do that when you ask stuff, with or without a please in it, or you might find those lots of replies stop happening.

Well, I *used* to be a very active member of South Pacific Tae Kwon Do. One of the things that is important for increasing your stamina is cardiovascular exercises and increasing your lung capacity. If you are smoking - anything - stop it now.
I would suggest trying to increase the amount of laps you can in an olympic sized pool (50metres). Please alternate between all of the different strokes and work more on the ones that you are having difficulty with.
For example, I've always been terrible at "Butterfly" stroke. Whenever I go swimming, I always try and do as much of this type of stroke that I can manage. Until muscles ache.
If you're doing any other type of stroke, try holding your head under for longer and increasing the amount of time you can hold your breath. This will help to increase your lung capacity.
Don't drown yourself.
Don't expect miracles over night.
We're talking a good 6 months down the track of about 2 hour long sessions a week. At least. By then, you should appreciate a certain amount of increased ability to perform.
The added benefits of swimming besides being a good cardiovascular exercise, increasing your lung capacity are that it is a good muslce toner. You'll also appreciate that it is less stressful on your body.
If you get puffed from it all before you time is up, I suggest that you jump out of the pool, allow yourself to get your breath back and do some stretches or something to keep your muscles warm. Sip some water and wade back in for some more swimming.
Another cardiovascular exercise. Skipping. With a skipping rope. This will help to increase the amount of muscle in your calves too. I suggest that if you can you get some weights (little ones that weigh very little) and strap them onto your ankles. Skip as much as you can. Do it before you get into the pool even, or while you're catching your breath out of it.
An excellent cardiovascular workout, skipping will get your heart racing and your calves aching.
Last but not least, a full size boxing bag and some proper boxing gloves. Practice your techinique. This is very important. Take your time. Really make your technique as finely tuned as possible. Take a long time to do your kicks for instance. Mark a suitable spot for you to always aim for with your kicks and punches. The more effort you put into mastering your technique, the more you will find you brain becomes attuned to doing it perfectly. You'll get your stamina over time better with more cardiovascular workouts, technique and increasing your lung capacity then with weights. Why? Because you mind has to finely tune your motor skills first. When your technique is second nature you can work more on your muscle size and strength. If you have lazy technique and lots of muscle, you'll prolly kick or punch stronger or well, but nowhere near as good as you should be able to if you invested the time in mastering the art of it. That's why they refer to it as "martial *arts*".
Anyway, I can't guarrantee that any of this advice will work especially well for you, but give it a good go for at least 6 months. Yes it should take less than that, but keep it up for longer and get your teacher/sensi/instructor to practice more on your mind set, focus, stamina and technique now and the benefits will pay off later.
