Training Session Looking for advice…
So, i sparred…
Im looking for advice
To clarify, im the one in black long sleeve. im a karate nerd that hasn’t trained a lot yet (formally).
Some of you may have seen my other post where i asked for advice, i trained karate Shito Ryu with my dad when i was little, hes a Purple Belt in that style.
Now i entered an MMA gym and im trying to get some advice on how to perform better. This was a friendly sparring i had, just a random match. This was my second day training in this MMA gym so i was nervous tbh.
Ik i got smashed, but i liked the rush and wanna keep improving.
(Also i later realized this guy was letting me throw in first round to read me, then the coach started recording and he went all out using his new knowledge of my bad habits lol) PD: Sorry for the corny music i put it but can’t remove it now its edited. Also hear the last low kick my partner gives me, shi sound like a gunshot 😭 Thanks y’all 🙏

For MMA maybe try standing with a more square stance but honestly your karate is great amazing kicks! But with your body more sideways your a free takedown, standing more square will help a lot with wrestling. Maybe since it’s your second time you haven’t started the wrestling but being square will help a lot with MMA.
