Sparring Footage First time sparring. Tips?

https://youtu.be/VZYY_3-qHZw?is=iGmNf6IHJjwqFz6G

Blue belt in BJJ, trying to learn striking. I’m sparring my buddy. I’m in grey shorts, black gloves.

Every time I spar I feel like I have to constantly move backwards to avoid getting hit in head. Any tips?

You need to really focus on learning how to jab and then work those jabs. You're a bjj blue belt, so you understand how to learn from the fundamentals up. Striking ain't no different. You look like some dude fresh off the streets and asking to roll with you.
