I have been doing sambo for 1 year and i was good but for some reason i am not as good at standing and fighting as i used to be. i used to spar and be good at it but now my partener can out strength me and he only does karate what do you think i am doing wrong and what would you recommend to increase my strength again in sambo. thanx if any one wants any help just say
Heh, I've got the same problem. A huge devotion of my time has been focused on grappling to make up loss ground, and I've neglected my striking. I'm hoping once I start working my striking again, it'll come back pretty quickly and I can start making more progress.
You will go off the boil from striking quicker than grappling. It will happen if you dont spend time doing it. SONSHU
