Could use some advice on how to be an effective striker with my reach disadvantage. I'm 5'5" and bodybuilder stocky and not as quick as the smaller guys because I carry a lot of muscle for my frame (think Sean Sherk stocky). I've heard I have to bob and weave and slip to get on the inside, but whenever I try to get on the inside, I get either teep'd or kicked going in. Whenever I set up combos with a kick first and follow up with a jab and cross, I can never reach my opponent, even if I try to move into him. Do I just have to take the kick and use it to get inside? Can I utilize my jab against a taller opponent, or should I just rely more on combinations instead of jabs?
Any advice from people who know what they are talking about would be appreciated.
