Hi
Been training Muay Thai for about 10 months and in the last few weeks I've took the next step and started sparring.
Only done about 6-7 rounds and obviously I'm not very good at it. I'm not nervous or scared of being punched I just don't have the skills yet.
How long did it take you all to become quite competent in the ring at sparring where you could put into practice the techniques you'd learnt?
At the moment all I seem to be doing is getting hit and pushed about everywhere and even had my nose busted last night. The problem I have is at my gym I'm the only one out of the group of beginners that has decided to start sparring so I'm always up against people that have a few amateur bouts under their belts so straight away I'm at a disadvantage.
Thanks for reading. Any tips for me or is it just a case of getting beat up for a while and something clicking into place?
