having problems whilst sparring

[Trudge]

if he's much more advanced than you
ask him to chill a bit
your not gonna learn anything with him coming full gun unless you get some decent practice in
when i first started muay thai there was a big time charlie who obviously wanted to prove how good he was, i started off really gentle and he threw a liver kick, i was down for about two minutes, i got up, and closed in on him, he went for a clinch so i kneed him really really hard in the balls.
its the only time i've ever had to do that while sparring but ever since then he's backed off and trained normal with me
end of the day, if the place you go is good and has a good atmos then he shouldn't be trying to kill you every time because it teaches HIM nothing, if anything it teaches him bad habits, with him constantly moving forward he is leaving himself open to a skillful oponnent to counter with all sorts
basically it boils down to the fact that this guy sounds like a cunt or you might just have a face that people like hitting (joke)

As hard as you can in the solar plexus, uppercut or cross, move, repeat, if you take some shots while doing so, I bet he will hurt worse, because this just happened to me, HARRRRRRD!!!

Se, you're the big, scary, strong guy! lol

Heh. I'll admit, I've never been bullied by anyone but my older brother. I have fought a couple of guys bigger and stronger than me (one of my best friends is a good 240lbs) so I know how intimidating it can be. Size is a huge advantage. After all if Bob Sapp wieghed 170lbs, I'm sure 70% of the people on this forum could kick his ass. I suppose the key is staying calm and keeping your wits.

Spinning back kick.

When ppl attack continously they tend to square them selves off abit.
Back off like u do normaly he i will think that u are just defending as usual and will make a move to press. Suddenly turn your defence into offence with a spinning back kick. Aim for the mid section and try to knock the wind out of him to discourage him from closing u.

Spinning back kicks are very poerful so even if he gets his hand down to block his body will still be shifted backwards.

Worth a try.

Great advice.

yeah if he is more advanced than you ask him to take it easy, if he is deliberately trying to hurt you I hope you hand him his ass

take his lead leg out from under him. Just dont it when he is going for a power jab, just make sure your heads out of the center line *Also use you FOOTJAB it truley will help, also try this *Make sure you jab alot and connect some. So after you been jabbing awhile, Do a jab 2 the face, then quickley push on his chest with the hand you jabbed with then do a rear kick there can be more followed up but for now try that.
