against tallies
-try feighnts to draw out a counter and then counter that couunter,
-keep a tight guard, take a couple punches, and then counter kicks to either inside or outside your opponents legs
-good offense is the best defense
-foot jab front or rear leg to check kicks
-slip punches and work body shots
-develop smoothness in countering long punches with kicks
-circle around a lot and use looping hooks to attack opponent's head
-when all else fails, knee to the balls

shorter people typically have more trouble in the clinch, so unless you are very good i would try not clinch to much.Comment

One quick question, whats a looping hook opposed to a regular hook? Can you state the differences?
ThxComment

Hooks are looping or tight depending on the range that they are thrown at. If you are in close and you throw a short, samall, quick hook it is tight. If you are farther away, and the hook is kind of thrown big and "looping", and kind of loaded up on. That is the best i can describe itComment

Thanks alot man, ya i get it. I also heard with the tight close up hooks the fist is facing down like a normal jab or straight and with a farther "looping" hook the fist is facing yourself...not sure if thats true or if its just personal preferance...Originally posted by alexjxaverComment

for all hook it is a personal preffrence, but i think it is better to keep your fist tirned taward you in all your hooks. but that is just me.Comment
