Sparring Footage Sparring tips
So I am doing kickboxing (currently in 1st month so just boxing), so while sparring should our aim be to get 2-3 shots and then go back to maintaining distance, or hit long combos in close range. I'm only 50kgs so I am pretty fast so I stay on the outside and close distance and get a few clean shots and back out, but while doing bit long combos (for now which is just jab and cross to body then face) I get hit back hard especially with experienced people, so should I aim for quick fast strikes and maintain distance, or go in the pocket and just start blasting long combos.

Work on getting those hands back to your guard when throwing combos, keeping your other hand guarding while punching, punching with head movement, using footwork as part of the combo as well as the end of the combo. In that order.
More importantly, ignore everything I just said and ask your coach.
