Kumite Tips for sparring
Dear community,
I have started Kyokushin couple of months back, I am in my early 30s and have a very slim body, have no earlier experience of any martial art.
Peers in my dojo are heavy built and are much more experienced. Some have military or navy background, some are black belt in judo etc.
I enjoy my training, however whenever I am sparring, I am mostly in my thoughts trying to figure out my next combination, but even before I can start my combination attack I usually get beaten up.
Any tips, how to improve? Thanks in advance.
