I have been watching my fights from last october and it looks as if I only have a few combos. A jab, reverse and I occasionally kick to the inside leg. Sensei said I was like the energizer bunny.
I know I have to work on keeping my hands up. What other techniques should I be working on?

I am gonna preface this with the fact that I have no tourney experience yet. Just dojo sparring.
1.) Keep those hands up at all times. Even in Rapid fire punch combos bring it back to guard.
2.)More Gedan Mawashi Geri to the outside leg.
3.) Cut the angles more. You are too straight on.
4.) Tuck your chin a bit and drop your stance just a tad.
5.)Watch trying to block the leg kicks with your arms. Use Sune Uke.
Hope that helps!
I am sure you will some better advise from some of the more experienced folks here.
Good luck and OSU!

What MMX said above--throw more gedan mawashi to outside thigh, specifically just above their knee, where the muscle is smallest. That's all I have for the moment.

i know I have to practice bringing my hands to guard. I have the biggest problem with that when sparring too. Tonight I am totally going to work the outside thigh

First, let me just say kudos for getting out there and fighting. A yellow belt making it to the finals in a knockdown tournament is something to be very proud of!
You have very strong punches, but need to work more on picking your specific shots. Don't throw punches just to be throwing them. Pick certain spots to create openings for additional techniques. I second what the others have said about using more outside low kicks. Use your hands to set up the outside low kick.
Osu!

OSU Thank you yoshukai, I have never really thought of where I was placing the punches. That is something I should look into.

I'd say keep your hands up, but that's a lesson I think you've already learned  Along with the thoughts on gedan mawashi geri, cut that leg across on your kicks; don't sacrifice the power in the kick just to say you threw a kick. That's advice from a recovering "leg-swinger" You have very strong punches, but need to work more on picking your specific shots. Don't throw punches just to be throwing them. Pick certain spots to create openings for additional techniques. My thoughts exactly. Let me also add to work on your pacing. First fight, you came out like a woman possessed...2 minutes in you slowed waaaay down. A little pacing and selective striking and both fights turn out differently. Great job and that experience will pay off in spades...you're only a yellow belt; you should be dominant for a long time to come  OSU! |

When your second opponent started to counter your attacks I knew that there will be a knockout fast. You need to be able to recognize when you have a good opponent and be more careful , don't just rush forward no matter what ! Sometimes less is more .
Work on your technique and think of different fighting strategies - not just constant attack. Stay calm and observe the opponents moves.
You have great fighting spirit - keep it up !

Nicely put Kyofighter. You could tell the way the second fighter was countering and throwing her right hand and left leg kick to set up the head kick.
Osu!

Don't forget accuracy with your gedan mawashi geri. If you can hit the same point each time is great. You will leave a great looking bruise. A friend of mine blew up and had the darkest bruise I have ever seen.
