Can't be stepping in to throw leg kicks without something in their face first. Too easy for the opponent to see it coming, step in and punch before the kick gets there.
Beautiful sparring, man! I assume the taller guy is a bit newer? His reactions to getting hit were a bit more awkward, but I love how disciplined he was about keeping his stance and staying active! The cameraman's advice was excellent, too. This looks like an awesome gym :)
