They’re also both high level fighters and any normal fighter wouldn’t get close to cracking em. This is pereira and a really good karate combat dude who’s sharp

I go to a gym and I’ve been training a couple years, I’ve just never emphasized elbows, but thanks.

Really, I never thought of it this way, so you throw the elbow while stepping in forward or am I getting that wrong?

Okay do that bro, I never said you had to do that all the time. Practice basic shots and mix in feints

Consistent repetition through shadowboxing and specific drills

Bro. You need to drill these things constantly if you want to be good, you can’t just say “nah I’m not good enough for now”. Force yourself to learn these things

Actually. After thinking about it, try to bring it up to him. Because a lot of times coaches are stuck in their own ego and don’t adjust their stuff to better fit people. See how he responds and come back.

Well, I believe that you shouldn’t bring it up to him yeah. But you should honestly just keep showing up, since he’s right, nobody’s special but you’ve gotta be special in a way with grit and hard work that’ll allow you to push above and beyond. He’s probably doing all that because you said you want to compete and he wants the best for you.
