I study fights trying to figure out tactics and strategies for both fighters, making notes in my mind and figuring out gameplans on the fly. At least I try to. I watch body mechanics and footwork and try to absorb what can be useful and remain on the lookout for new tactics or techniques.

Striking set ups - Building on Last Week – Striking Setups Through Levels

In the last video, we introduced the idea of using setups to draw reactions.This video takes that one step further — by using level changes to create those reactions. You’ll see exactly how shifting between head and body attacks forces your opponent to make predictable defensive moves… and how to exploit that in real time. Same principles. New layer. This is how you evolve your setups — not by memorizing combos, but by understanding how to play with expectations. 🎥 Watch the clip 🧠 Spot the level shifts 🥊 Apply it this week Let’s keep building. Comment below if you start using this in your sparring!

@Joakim Engberg actually I have also another theme. How to enter and getting dominant grips on the fence. Often I enter but I find difficult time getting dominant grips.
