Learning to use my artilleries

With recognition from Shihan and other peers, i can say that my skills and fitness in muay thai has reached the next level. I can now punch and kick hard and sustain it almost to the end of the training. But.. all these are pad works.. all these are my artilleries, i need to use them during sparring..

What happened was, i was very comfortable sparring people around my height. I can just my arti just right.. but when i meet ppl taller than me by a head or so.. i am helpless.. at least i felt helpless.. the following are what Shihan George advise me the following:
  • should wait for them to attack. Counter and rain combinations
  • my best counter will be push-kicks or check kicks to their thighs
  • After raining my combos, should run away (sideways) so that they cannot catch me
  • Move around alot.. they are bigger, so they tired out faster
  • Do not take all the kicks.. not good to block cos they are much stronger
I shall go for more sparring session to build up my speed and all. =)

Ps: Its confirmed i'm a yellow singlet!
