Hello all, I've been training in ETC taekwondo for the past 16 years, current 3rd Dan instructor but recently started training at American Top Team in kickboxing, and BJJ.
one thing I'm having a lot of problems is my hands, as taekwondo is mainly kicks, it's been amazing having some of the best kicks in the gym and landing great strikes in spatring. But my hands are lacking big time.
MY question is, has any of you transitioned from Taekwondo to kickboxing/MMA? And did you have difficulties at first adapting to the new fight style? I'm sure I will get there as I've only been training for a month, but after getting hands flying across my face I'm eager to see if anyone has any tips that has been in a similar situation.
