Whoops, it was on the other page
Damn this place gets busy when the yanks get online.
oo, southpaw.
-Taller so get in close
-right leg leading so if you can learn to come in and be 45 degrees in and throw a left low kick to his right hamstring.
-when he throws a jab (right hand) throw a left uppercut and a right low kick to the inside of his right leg. If you do it hard enough or push it through more it will throw him off balance so you can upload more (indeed throw a low left kick to the outside leg (it goes one way, then the other) then throw a mid kick. Tricky because you'll be close but it can be done.
-learn to parry the jab (right hand) and throw a left hook off the hand, right straight, left hook and attack that front leg again to the inside with a low right kick.
-don't get caught by a silly right hand jab because you're not used to the frequency of shots coming from that side
Have fun
