Nice work guys. Sometimes I spar in my back yard and it seems much harder and more tiring without a ring because you can't really corner your opponent.
Only problem with that for competitive Boxing you would need to get the feel of canvas with boxing or wrestling shoes. Sometimes there are logos that can be slippery. I would say for back yard sparring to walk the area, find the bad spots, look for where the sun is shinning in your opponents eyes and put them in that position. Use your foot work by circling away from there dominant hand until they are exactly where you want them to be. Don’t chase them by rushing in. Stalk them moving left and right cutting off there limitations to escape your trap. Move forward with straight punches. If they try to escape throw a hook to the side they are trying to exit out. Try it out and let me know how it works the next time you spar.
@@OnePunchKnockout7 it’s funny you mentioned slipping. I had my first light mma sparring session this week. I kept using my front kick to keep distance. But my foot would get sweat on it from his shirt and when I would bring my foot back to plant I would slip right after the kick. It’s crazy the small little details of fighting you have no clue about until you do it.
@@keltonsanders try turning your foot out slightly and not north/south. If you are using your lead foot as a teep or push kick to keep distance for example if it is your left foot point your big toe to 11 o’clock. I taught this in the military. I would aim for the upper thigh for more control. Don’t forget to chop the legs in and outside to mix up your attack.
Low kicks are always a safe bet. Anything above the waist has room for a counter. Low leg kicks, calve cuts, and teeps are what I taught in the military for a combat scenario. This also relays into competition as well. Hope this was helpful.

@@OnePunchKnockout7 thank you. Yeah this week I’ve really been working on ending combinations with some type of kick.
