Help me improve spar.
I've caught some videos of my spars that I'm not happy with and I'd appreciate it if people could help me out and point out my mistakes. You don't have to be a pro sparrer to help, any advice is nice. This thread is also for myself to see how I progress. In this one I actually start sparring at around 50 seconds |

The second spar looked fine to me aside from the fact that it was in a sideroom. The first spar looked ok to me as well, though I might be able to give some sort of advice if you wish to try. So knowing where I was in the video I think the server had about 3.5k people on at that time, meaning it's going to be pretty laggy. And this is important because I noticed you went very offensive vs. your opponent in these conditions, which is all well and good. However, myself and a lot of other sparrers find it a bit easier to pace ourselves out when there's either server delay, or we are going against someone who has some delay. We like to take it slowly and try and read them, rather than go offensive most of the time. If that works for you then that's great, seeing as how you didn't do too badly anyways. |

Real shame that the other spar rooms receive neg rep, its almost as if you're either a good sparrer or you're a booster

Blu, I'm a give you the best tip. Take your opponents weaknesses and use them to your advantage. I just did that and now I have to check my pm's.

This is a good point, if you watch people spar in the streak room you can see what person spars with what style and it allows you to change your offense/defense plan to counter it. It's good to be physically good at sparring but it helps when you can do it mentally as well. Improving will just be lots of practicing and try to change the technique you use every now and then spamming isn't a good method and most sparrers have no trouble beating it. |

When I faced old pc players they didn't know my weaknesses (highly offensive, constantly moving to trick them and hit their side) and lose, but that's just first few. They most likely find my weakness after several spars and start beating me. If I have to name few people it's Thallen, Brett, Warhawk, Dante. |
