Various spar sessions

When Si got his assertion on the back foot, pumping that jab  he did well.

I could back foot fight Si easily, the key is to wait until he moves forwards, punch on his/their forward movement/attack.

Si started to figure this out on the back foot and my entries became harder and harder (I initially was able to land my left and right easily after lining them up).

Speeding him up to a fluster while "walling" him got his guard back and enabled an entry but this also got harder to achieve.

Would have liked to have tried...

1. More single slips

2. Cutting angle to outside gait then attacking

3. Lead left hooks

4. Centre line attacks with high guard. Issue no angle to escape on?!

6. Hooks from setup angles ie step right - left hook

NOW AFTER SI AND DAN SPAR

7. Slow right down, maybe slower than them to explosive attack (Out Box,  Slow/Hunt To Explode) Mayweather

8. Flurries of speed. Rather than constant speed. (Fluster With Fast Aggressive Contempt) Tyson

9. Get there timing then enter (Counter By Moving To Encourage Them To Throw) Patterson

10. Push and stretch jab ( Dirty Box, hold/ push and hit) Russian style.

• I noted was that I do have to stick to my plan but then adapt it around him.
• if he's looking to counter with the left you want to throw a lead right or slip/roll left away from his jab, then jab.
• if he's looking to counter with the right you want to throw a lead left or slip roll right away from his righ, then attack.
• a higher MMA guard would have made life a lot easier on the front foot. making the acceptance of taking the shot easier!

 if he's looking for left counter means you can go ahead a throw a lead right hand because it is on the centre line. But if he looking for a straight right  counter your going to want to want to slip or roll right slipping (or maybe rolling) left away from his jab, shortening it then attacking. if he's looking for counter right leading with the jab is best as this will block it.
