Always losing out to random attacks

Hi I’ve been practicing Yang lately and I’m always losing to the random jabs and kicks.

Like I’m trying to footsy them and my jabs and kicks lose to theirs all the time.

Or the people that just start jabbing a crap load at random times.

What do I do as yang to beat these people?

It depends on when you’re doing this. If you are both playing footsies at mid range, you need to consider other pokes or ranges.

If this happens when you are at close range, it means they are trying to tech throw when you are applying pressure. That means you need to leave smaller gaps in your pressure strings.
