I can't comment much but I saw your hands were usually too far away from your face or too low.

yeah i get that a bit and i agree. only thin id say in my defence is i conciously leave my hands out a bit further for both of those guys because as u saw they only really throw straight punches.. so i can hold my hands out and let them parry without worrying about getting hooked n ****. also with the hands low.. u didnt mean when i was in a cross arm defence did ya?

Yeah, true. They didn't throw hooks.

And you're arms being low, I mean, they just seemed to drop every once in a while from fatigue or habit or something.

mgkirkpatrick, hey, i liked the video. it was a good example of nice constructive sparring. that's the perfect pace and intensity to work on positioning and ingrain strategy so you can change it without thinking.

you did fine. seemed like your sparring mates weren't bad either. in boxing, sometimes it's different i understand, but in martial arts you want to have your hands(very generally) neither too far out nor too close inwards. of course, what you do and how you react, it's all relative anyways. just wanted to add my take on arm length and give you some food for thought.

keep up the good work!

Yeah... at least you got quite a few hits in, you seemed defensive enough to beat your sparring mate..

[Exige Jr]

Do you want me to give you a few pointers, or not? Things that, in my opinion, you could change. Or was it just a vid showing you at the moment, and you dont want comments?

[Toddy]

Nice video mate the only thing i can say is that when you throw some of you punches you let your other hand drop and leave yourself open, but apart from that keep it goin your doin well o and loosen up a bit mr, roboto

[Built 2 Last]
