Sparing

[dafabe]

I have been sparing quite Abit at my new club now. and have encounter some problems, I know I have a habit of cowering and closeing my eyes when I get hit by a boxing combo. This I will have to work on, but I would like to also no some good counters and ways to get into the clintch as I am not so bad there, and also ways to get into (non-clintch knee range). I have worked out a little combo that I think might get me in close, tell me what you think.

 

Lead Teep, foot down to a

 

Fast Rear leg body Round kick,

 

Left Knee across the chest.

 

Please tell me of better ways, Cheers,

 

Dave

Sounds like a good combo. But what are you going to do if I am hitting you with my jab and you're cowering?

 

The combos you throw are only half the game. You have to be comfortable in a defensive position. In other words, you have to be ok with someone trying to knock your block off. You have to KNOW you can block what they throw!

Well thats a good one

 

but you should have some more combos just for backup and mix them up so your appoinnent doesn't see them coming

 

 

[Lau gar]

sounds good you should practise the technique in a free spar

Here are a few for you to try:-

 

Lead kick inside his lead leg - fake rear cross - rear low kick.

 

Lead teep - rear body kick - lead hook as the kick retracts - rear knee - rear low kick

 

Rear low kick (if he leg-shields) - fake rear low kick - jab-cross-rear knee
