Hey everyone,

Do you have any tips on how to get more comfortable fighting in switch stance?

I’ve been trying to spar more in switch stance, but everything feels mirrored and unnatural compared to my normal stance. The biggest issue is that as soon as I get hit clean, I instantly switch back to my regular stance because I feel much safer and more mobile there.

Another thing I noticed is that my kicks with my left leg feel much worse compared to my right side - less flexible, slower, and less natural overall.

Did anyone else struggle with this at first? How did you get used to staying in switch stance under pressure?

Hey guys, I was wondering how my progress on reta is looking so far.
I’m pretty new to this.

My routine is:
- Sunday evening: pin
- Monday morning: weigh-in

Starting weight: 89kg

After week 1 (0.5mg) → 88.5kg
After week 2 (1mg) → 88.5kg
After week 3 (1.5mg) → 87.3kg
After week 4 (1.5mg) → 85.5kg
Mid week 5 (3 days before next 2mg pin) → 83.7kg

I feel like I kind of “lost” the first month on reta without much weight loss, and only in the last 2 weeks I’ve really started noticing changes.

Does this look normal/good for reta progress?

Thanks, for any Advice!
