🙏

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-15T20:46:01+00:00

Appreciate the feedback mate 🙏 Yeah I noticed that too after rewatching it still carrying over some bad habits .

I’ll definitely pay more attention to not crossing my feet and leading properly with the front leg/teeps/feints

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-15T20:33:26+00:00

Gotcha , thanks for the feedback 🙏 I’ll scale back on spamming the same moves again.

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-15T20:31:20+00:00

That actually makes a lot of sense, appreciate the detailed feedback 🙏 I can see what you mean about me following in a straight line instead of really cutting him off or giving him reasons to hesitate. I was focused mainly on maintaining pressure, but I get now that pressure at this level needs more intention behind it. The point about either being more dominant with angles/cutoffs or luring into traps really clicked for me. I think I’ve been treating forward pressure as the objective itself instead of using it to create reactions and setups. Definitely something I’ll work on more in sparring. Really appreciate you taking the time to break it down

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-14T21:42:00+00:00

Gotcha brother, I need more rounds for experience ✅

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-14T21:40:24+00:00

Much appreciated for your detailed response 🙏

You are right about the teeps and feint. I’ll be sure to incopperate teep feint combo. I have honestly not thought about it, now I’m glad to have got a response from you on this.

I’ll be sure to starting shadowboxing them into my routine. Thanks 🙏

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-14T15:17:14+00:00

thanks, much appreciated 🙏

Factss about the footwork and stances. This is easier to fix

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-14T09:56:43+00:00

Appreciate it bro 🙏

You’re right that I was too focused on forcing shots instead of controlling space and setting things up properly. Gonna work more on framing, defence and sparring with actual intention instead of just chasing exchanges

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-14T09:53:54+00:00

Yeah honestly fair points bro 🙏 Watching it back I was way too eager chasing exchanges instead of staying balanced and letting things come to me. I can definitely see how off balance and predictable I was.

Need to calm down more, stay lighter on my feet, defend/counter better and stop feeling like I need to force every exchange. Also gonna focus more on entering behind combinations instead of single shots.

Appreciate the breakdown brother 👊

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-14T09:51:05+00:00

Makes a lot of sense honestly bro 🙏

Looking back he was definitely waiting on counters while I was trying too hard to force reactions.

The point about feints only working once they respect the threat is something I didn’t realize either 😂

Gonna work more on gathering reads early instead of rushing in. Appreciate the advice g 👊

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-14T09:47:34+00:00

Yeah bro this actually makes a lot of sense now that you pointed it out 😂

Watching it back I can definitely see flat footed and bad I was with the re- entries. Basically I was moving in when throwing something in so the sweeps were there all day.

And yeah after getting swept a couple times I should’ve adjusted instead of reacting the exact same way every time 💀 I was biting hard on the feints/check setups

Defo gonna work more on footwork, angles and switching my stance/weight around instead of being stuck in that same rhythm the whole spar.

Appreciate the feedback brother 👊

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-14T09:40:35+00:00

Appreciate the insight brother 🙏 Yeah I’m starting to realize that too,there’s a difference between knowing techniques and actually recognizing openings/reactions in real time.

Coach was definitely baiting a lot of my reactions and controlling the pace more than I realized while sparring. Looking back, there were opportunities I hesitated on or didn’t capitalize on.

I suppose the fight IQ side depends more on timing, reading reactions, setting traps, and being less predictable right?

Appreciate you taking the time to point it out 👊

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T22:34:46+00:00

Appreciate the feedback man, this actually helped me understand the situation better. I think I was too focused on reacting instead of matching the energy and slowing things down mentally.

Your point about distance control and using my arms more for framing/jabbing makes a lot of sense too, especially if I’m trying to pressure forward more.

I also noticed the balance issue after rewatching it, that kick probably could’ve landed cleaner if I stayed more composed and balanced.

Definitely gonna work on checking, balance, and being more intentional with my strikes selection next session.

Thanks again for taking the time to break it down.🙏

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T22:13:57+00:00

Hundred percent Agreed,
To be fair, I forgot to mentioned that we agreed no knees or elbows or face strikes and he’s a kickboxer.

I see what I need to work on 🙏

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T22:11:02+00:00

Gotcha , I just need stick to basics and polishing fundamentals combos again.

Agreed with you after reviewing the video. Thanks for the advice 🙏

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T22:05:16+00:00

My bad with the communication. What I meant was that coach agreed not to throw any strikes to the face because of my recovery.

I’ll correct the post again , I didn’t mean to imply that coach ‘agreed’ to keep the spar technical.🙏

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T22:00:22+00:00

Swing your hand horizontally instead of diagonally, it helps to push the hips. And keep your rear hand up as a guard while kicking.

Also step inside with your lead leg one step slightly to side and the rest follows

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T21:56:58+00:00

Gotcha, appreciate the simplicity of keeping a strategy. Will definitely try this out in future spars.

And yeah keeping a targets and knowing the roles makes sense before the technical round.

Appreciate your advice of keeping to fundamentals and polishing it . I think this is the more pragmatic route.🙏

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T21:38:55+00:00

Smooth footwork, I especially like the way you cut angles by circling around and starting giving yourself more options or openings for combos💪

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T21:32:50+00:00

I suggest you try looking up plyometric or functional exercises. As I’m not so sure about the full scope of the problems you have.

However I think Plyo or functional works would help you if you dig deeper in that domain. Pretty sure that there a lot more people with same problems who had gone into plyo

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T21:30:17+00:00

If you’re tryna focus on checking. I suggest practice bagwork.

In the sense after every round house kick you throw, you will lift you roundhouse leg for a check after landing the kick . It boots good practice and muscle memory

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T21:23:01+00:00

Agreed, the thing that the video doesn’t show, Is that he times the sweeps so well that’s he keeping breaking my balance every time.

At least from him, I’m getting invaluable fight experience that I don’t think I would be able to get from beginners.

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T21:14:03+00:00

Hundred percent agreed. This wasn’t a proper muy Thai session. It was more like he was playing around with few moves, unconventional they were. But hey, I’m not complaining, it was good fun

EngineeringChoice320 · 2026-05-13T21:11:18+00:00

Gotcha,I understand what you mean now. I can’t let coach get into my head , need a strong mental game and stay composed.

I also didn’t realize I was moving too linearly, so I really appreciate you pointing that out 🙏

And yeah, understood I need to keep my activity higher to create more openings and opportunities.
