Resolved Question: thai boxing sparring questions.. Look! :P But only if you've done

[Knowledge Bot]

Alright so i moved up from beginners class into the next class like a month ago. Been thaiboxing for 4 months now. I would say i'm easily one of the youngest and being like 5'9 and not really built doesn't help either. I'd say i can move around faster than most but not punch as fast. What should my strategy be against these people? i have trouble against really strong people while sparring. Like this big boned fat strong guy who has like the worst technique i've seen in my life. Just reaaaaaally strong people with amazing hand speed because of a boxing back ground give me trouble too. I try kicking and keeping my distance but eventually you have to box. Sometimes the awkwardly tall experienced people give me trouble too My punching is abit crap but my kicks are preety good.. I'm trying to work on the punching

As someone who is 6'4", if you want to beat an awkwardly tall person you need to get in real close. Personally once someone is in real tight, I lose a lot of power cause limbs are to long!
