I first want to apologize to Sinister, I promised in the last video thread that I would devote my next sparring video to slipping left and using the left hip more. I really tried but I couldn't do it. I figured I would at least try just near exclusively using the high guard defense to serve as an interesting contrast to my last video.
A guy: I tried to incorporate a few things you mentioned. I tried to set up my right hand following the jab, which I was successful with a few times. I also changed my slapping hooks to same hand uppercuts to being reverse hand uppercuts. I didn't land it too clearly however.
Apizur: I used the high guard that you seem so fond of. I tried to fight off my jab more. I also think I didn't get hit with many clean right hands because of my use of the high guard.
Things I tried to do:
1. Control the fight with my jab more, follow up with right hands. I think I did this well.
2. Use the high guard to get hit with less right hands, I think I was successful in this.
Problems:
1. I tried to move while shelling up which lead to a lot of awkward movement and me getting hit in weird spots. It looked really bad.
2. I should not move around with a high guard, I should try to use my gloves to pick off incoming shots while I am moving.
3. The high guard seems to stifle my movement and vision a bit.
4. I want to work more off my jab and work in more combination punching on a consistent basis.
5. I couldn't slip left on a consistent basis, I just didn't have a good grasp of his right hand to be honest.
I was not that pleased with this session to be honest. I feel like it was a step back from my last one in some ways.
As always enjoy the video and critique!
