This is invisible on the preview and on the live site view. I do not understand why. I would like some advice on how to fix this or how I should trouble shoot it. I have messed with a bunch of random attributes to make it show up, but I do not have enough experience to understand why this isn't showing up on the preview.
Above is the empty space where the text should be.
Any help is appreciated.
Ive been training about 8 months. Its been one of the best things ive done and I plan to continue
I dont plan to fight, maybe a smoker or two but not anytime soon
What I am struggling with is defending my head. I really have no interest in long term brain damage. I see a big sentiment on many martial arts boards such as "if that's a problem just don't train" but I do want to train and overcome this than run from the issue.
My biggest issues when getting nailed are three things:
-countered on the jab
-when people get in the pocket I will get tagged sometimes
-closing distance (I want an angle as an example) ill get caught sometimes
The things I am doing for the three issues:
-I have started doing kore than single shots and using thr combos to take angles (off of hooks or my round house, or just)
-the pocket I will attempt to jam their lead side and angle out, or jam a shot if I know a 1-2 is coming for example. Then im outa there
-this only seems to happen when tired but im having more discipline when tired and keeping my glove up
The problem isnt that im getting tagged all the time, its that its happening too much for comfort. I deflect, parry, or ride many shots to the head but it seems like I cant avoiding mistakes
I dont inherently mind the mistakes, im happy to learn, the problem is that is has a lot of doenstream issues potentially
The last few thinfs is I feel I don't move all the time when being pressured, but whats messing me up is my coach says not to always back up or run. So when I want to back up or take some steps then cut an angle im thinking "this is wrong" or and while I know I can jam or parry or even counter to stop them its not consistent
I want more agency here, and im not sure what im lacking. Based upon what I said, what would you guys suggest?
The biggest improvement to this issue I noticed was the greater strike volume. The reason is that I am simply in those situations less and they respect me.more when trying to enter.
If relevant, im 5'10 with about a 6'1 to 6'2 reach. About 192 lbs. More of a long limb guy
Any advice is appreciated
edit: im not sparring hard. its technical and the guys I train with are not trying to take my head off. hard shots do happen but only a single instance of a gym war occurred while I been training (and I wasn't involved)
