I recommend trying to understand “why” things hit when they hit, and “why” you get hit/opened up when you do. Take fights for the mental chess matches that they are, and don’t let yourself get into the habit of just doing stuff because “it mostly works/is good”. Understand why people get hit by certain things, and then exploit that understanding to hit them again.
The thread I’ve linked below is a bit of a read, but delves more deeply into the kinds of things I’m talking about, as well as about patterning your opponents in general.
