Every Time I Try to Close Distance I Eat the Left Kick

01 · The Situation

I want to get inside. Every entry attempt gets met by their left kick from the outside angle. I cannot find a way in that does not cost me first.

02 · Your Turn

In sparring with a southpaw, spend one round where every entry attempt uses your lead foot to step outside their lead foot first. Not inside — outside. Even if nothing comes after it, just practise the step. Count how many times you attempt it. Come back with the number.
