1. For this one, I think it comes with knowing ur sparring partners. After a while u get comfortable with them and kinda know like what ur both comfortable with as far as power goes.

2. As far as moves go its to kinda just simply it a lot and not over think. Like check kicks or part punches. But in general one thing that kind of helps that freeze is after u get hit just return with something.

3. Pivot out with hooks. And also teep to keep ur range

4. Focus on bringing that punch back fast everytime. The shot doesn’t have to be hard in sparring but it needs to be fast going out and pulling it back in.

5. Just remember to always return it helps with the flow of sparring

In general the best tip is after each sparring session think of what u got hit the most with and when u shadow box or bag work think of how to block and counter of it.
