Re: Sparring Help
A lot of getting comfortable on the offensive is just getting used to movement and interpreting attacks coming in.
3 generic things that help
1. Practice fight stance movement – walk around in fight stance, chin tucked, guard up. Pivot, forward, backward, sideways, cut angles. Also practice head movement.
2. Practice fight stance movement and add combos – same thing just add some combos and if you can get a friend to hold mits / gloves for you and call out combos, huge help.
3. Impact training – get used to getting punched in the face / body. Have a friend punch you lightly (or heavier as you can take it) while you stay in one position, chin tucked. Follow them with your eyes and get your psyche used to punches coming in to your computer.
Like Don says, without seeing a video, it’s hard to comment on how to improve. But those 3 things will help out anyone who’s new to sparring.
