Hi Guys
This was a clip will filmed while sparring with my Iron Wolves fight Team for coming fights.
Its Spring in Tauranga and Spring can be windy in New Zealand. So this clip is a bit noisy but packed with good information for you.

Enjoy!
Hi Sifu Orr,
I was wondering about sticking with hands in a live fight or sparring. I notice sometimes you will stick with your partners hands and follow them into the body/head for a strike and other times you allow the partners hand to retreat into a guard position somewhat unobstructed.
Is this just a sensitivity thing, where you can tell based on your partners balance and force when to follow the hand vs when to retreat to a guard position?
Sorry if the question is unclear. Just trying to determine when you should return your hands to a guard position vs. maintaining contact with the partners arms/hands.
Hi Evan
Yes sparring and Chi Sao is for learning so I pressure then release so partner can restart and go again. It keeps the flow going.
