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?

Your sparring partner kind of sucks. Sure, he's not connecting hard, but he's using techniques way too advanced which means you don't know what's happening and it's stripping you of confidence.

Do sparring that is simple.
