Just to say that I sparred today with the same FC guy, and things *seemed* to be a bit better. Still froze up to start, but managed to go to the clinch when things got too hectic, and by the end of the round I was managing to enchange a few blows back.
Just as a matter of interest, where do you tend look when you sparr, at the face, eyes or chest of other fighterr?
I was always told eyes as people tend to signal their intentions. It's all about the poker face, dude.
I sometimes accidentally close my eyes when I go in for a shot. Needless to say I am currently working on rectifying this
I used to look at the chest, but ive found looking at the face/chin better. (i know save the chest looking for when sparring hot chicks)
