Sparring Tall Guys

[Tomcat]

What I would like some suggestions on is how to spar "tall" against tall people.

Simply practice more. Don't worry about how to fight any certain type, size or style. Your body will naturally react and compensate against different opponents without your brain trying to think things through.

If I spar against an opponent with 20 years more experience than me, I fully expect to not only lose but not even land a punch. And that's ok because not every can be a Jet Li or Bruce Lee.

All the other replys had VERY good advice about sparring against an opponent close to your own skill. But my advice would be to not worry about it and just practice hard to become faster and more skillful.

Just an update.

Been noticing some good things. I am trying to be more mobile, and it is paying off. I have also noticed that some guys don't like getting close to a big guy throwing a spin hook kick.

I did some round robins the other day, and on my 3rd fight, my feet went dead and I got my head kicked about 3 times, not to mention the body shots. That torqued me off.

Got to keep the big body moving.

Keep the good stuff comin'. You all have been a big help.

you might want to keep your hands up and not get kicked on the head

with time you will learn to keep moving and get mroe stamina, until then, just keep practicing and working out to develop faster legs(to move you around and kick)
