SPARRING TIPS

Analyze Your Opponent

Before the sparring starts, take a moment to analyze your opponent's style and

tendencies. This will help you form a strategic approach.

Start Lightly

Avoid going blow for blow right from the start. Begin with light and controlled

exchanges to warm up and get a feel for your opponent's movements.

Observe Their Reactions

Watch how your opponent reacts to your punches. Pay attention to openings and

vulnerabilities that you can exploit.

Use Set-Ups

Based on your observations, employ set-ups to create opportunities for effective

strikes and combinations.

Utilize Different Tricks

Draw from a library of tips and tricks to keep your opponent guessing and off-

balance.

Monitor Energy Levels

Be mindful of your energy throughout the sparring session. Pace yourself to avoid

gassing out too early or having excess energy left.
