There was one part where you were swimming your opponents leg out of the way and I felt you reached a bit much for it. Try to C-frame your body up a bit and delay your parry so you arent leaving yourself so exposed. Hope this helped!
Good advice! "but when you are kicking I really like keeping my offhand up a bit higher in case we are trading kicks or blocking a punch. " I prefer reaching out with the same hand as the leg you are kicking with and pulling myself through the kick. Not to mention, it works as a range finder and makes it more difficult for your opponent to come inside when throwing the kick. Works really well if you throw alot of crosses high, opponent will naturally lift his hands and leave his ribs open when you put the arm out. Also, when you throw your cross (and it looks real good) bring it back to your chin, not your chest. Looks good brotha!
