Man, this was freaking awesome. Answered a bunch of questions that I both knew I had and didn’t know I had. Super helpful, and exactly what I was looking for. The one thing that I wonder is: I completely understand how as one masters their sense of distance management and timing, it enables them to have more powerful weapons. However, how does one master distance management and timing? Is it just through sheer repetitions of sparring, maybe film/fight analysis to form the neural pathways in the brain that contribute towards pattern recognition in that domain? What do you think?

Timing is more a function of reaction drills and knowing when to kick - just via reps, and oddly being present and aware when holding paddles or bags for someone else. Distance management mastery can be built by sparring and focusing on not letting them score by manipulating distance. Slide in, slide out, body leans etc. Try not to block Definitely no cancels or kicking. A great drill to combine those two is: Have 1 person have unlimited kicks and is down by 4 points. The other person who is ahead by 4 points can only kick a total of 5 times, including cancels.
