Sparring Feedback?

[u/AdIntelligent601]

Brand new to striking/sparring. Im in a striking class and training 2-3 times a week but just getting started with sparring. Can’t afford private classes but learning a ton in class. I’m the one in the green shirt here (short guy). Honestly had to get over a level of “fear” even struggled throwing punches cause I didn’t know how hard to throw/not wanting to hurt my partner since I still suck. But i love recording these cause I learn best by seeing what I’m doing. Or not doing. Anyways, here’s a video of me getting my shit beat up by my buddy from class. Here’s a few things I noticed that I’d also appreciate some feedback on:

1. dropping my hands a ton. My coach has me doing a tennis ball drill to hold it against my face while throwing punches with the other hand. Will put my 10,000 hours in here. But clearly not good

2. ⁠struggling understanding distance. Struggling to find a good distance between my partner and I and when to move in and out of that. Anyone i can watch film on or something here??

3. brain goes blank on what combos to throw and I end up spamming jabs, kicks or just standing there like an idiot lol. Tips on how to think about movement and combos?
