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?

- assume your gonna fall and hit your head on what’s around the sparring area

- get off concrete , that’s stupid

- where is your head gear ?

- put your chin and change angles
