When did you start harnessing combos in sparring vs free firing

Hey all,

Just for context, I’m about 7 months into training. Just got back home from Thailand after a few weeks of lessons, feeling pretty good.

I started “sparring” recently here at home and am definitely feeling more and more comfortable. Less fidgety, committing to my strikes, I’d say finding my distance has improved (this was massive challenge for me at first). This is a good feeling ngl, especially landing a good shot even at 20% power.

The one thing I noticed, maybe due to the stimulation and adrenaline (although I still focus on my breathing) is at most times I’m kinda just throwing random strikes (1/2/3) kicks (low/mid/high), using teeps decently well to break space etc. though I feel like I’m still not focusing on and practicing combos per say. Or at least I don’t realize If I am. Any advice on really trying to work on combos like 1/2 low kick, etc? My gym doesn’t really do much technical sparring, it’s either mid speed or nothing unfortunately. Not the best gym in the world I’d say….

Bonus question would just be what to focus on in general when sparring? I’ve recently doing like ok today distance, another day defense/counter etc, though now I’m rambling ha.

Thanks all
