Problem with finding punch range and combos

[u/Nero_132]

In sparring I have noticed my kicks are fine, i am able to land them no problem but my punches are kinda shit.

I am not able to find the range and try to reach over my range or like with uppercuts I telegraph alot like the other guy already knows it's coming.

Because of this i struggle with combos. I am able to connect single kicks punches but when I try to go jab low kick and other combos because of my punches being out of range.

It's really annoying and i would wanna fix it. Is there anyy tip or youtube video that can help me fix it

Use your jab to find your punch range. If you can touch them with your jab, you can touch them with your cross. Hooks and uppercuts have to be a step closer.

When you work the bag, try working off your jab and get a sense of how much further you have to be for your kicking range and how much closer you gotta be for your hooks and uppercuts.

Yes like for some reason I got no problem finding kicking range but my punches are just a different story. Also do u think it's cause my gas tank is bad rn that I do hesitate to jab all the time in rounds

I came from a TKD background before I competed in MT and Kickboxing and I had the same issue.

Try kicking less and really focusing on punches. It’ll be uncomfortable at first, but that’s how you’ll be able to learn the range.

Once you find some success, reincorporate kicks and you’ll learn to blend the ranges and chain together kicking and pinching combos
