It sucks ๐ trust me I spar with guys that are like 6โ to 6โ4 itโs a pain. My best advice:
Transition from the leg kick to a strike. eg check with your rear leg, as your foot is regrounding, step it forward and throw the rear hand to lead hook.
Step forward with them to close distance. Watch them. Trick them into chasing YOU.
All the way in. All the way out
Yup.. it's the highlight of my fucking week. It's like a drug๐ I'm tired for like 20-30 minutes after we're done then I get amped AF
I think the answers to help get to sleep sooner would be; meditation, breathwork with the intention of getting heart rate down, eating food and getting laid. My heart rate is still at like 90-110 BPM at 12AM ๐๐
