When In Doubt Counterfight

Note: the sparring technique described in this entry is geared more for interdediate and advanced students.

There are a ton of strategies in the boxng the game, but most people opt to use a few small techniques that are refined to a high level. If one works a combo over and over again in sparring, the person will start to develop a certain level of knowledge on the application of the combo, it becomes a hallmark of his game.

So what happens in a sparring bout when your routine isn't working. Counterfight.
That is to say, let the other person fight you and you react, counter, intercept the offense. Let the other person open up his lines and then react properly to the lines. Yes, it is tough, but pressing a routine that is not working over and over again will ultimately lead to failure.
