Advice

Hi all

It's been a few months I've been thai boxing. I have a little boxing experience from before also.

I've noticed that when I spar, I'm very hesitant to strike first. I'm not very creative with the combinations; also my guard seems to be low because I catch some head kicks (I use a boxing guard). I probably only rely on jabs and low kicks (I have quick and powerful jabs & low kicks) but that's about it. My high kicks aren't bad either but I don't try them that often.

My boxing is okay, but when I was just boxing I was good, now because of all the possibilities (knees, kicks) I'm afraid to go too close to my opponent to try some combos. I can do good boxing combos, but I can never get close enough because I'm very hesitant.

Any advice? Many thanks in advance.
