Description

In this episode Ritchie Yip and I go deep into the sparring process.  We explore why it's so hard to transition from from hitting pads to full on sparring, how to avoid head injuries while kickboxing, the importance of continual learning, how to avoid getting tired, and the best ways to have low risk training with high benefit.   And if you didn't know it already, I've just released a really cool instructional called The Precision Kickboxing Masterclass in which Ritchie Yip takes you through his best drills, progressions and strategies to get really good at kickboxing really fast.  There's a TON of material in it for beginner, intermediate and advanced students.  Check it out at https://www.grapplearts.com/kickboxing
