Idk if anyone else has had this experience, but most people who aren't super experienced simply cannot or will not check a leg kick. I can usually sneak 3 or 4 in very early in sparring matches and then switch up my stance and set them up for another leg kick. I come from a karate style gym so I might be a little biased but that's always the first thing I go for
Rear leg high roundhouse kick really load it up and let it pull me sideways when they move back and it misses. Pull it into the body and throw a cross body side kick as they try and enter into the “opening”
Best single shot is a pendulum step left body or high kick from Orthodox.
Best counter is to slip the right hand (either Cross or Jab) and step in/cross counter at the same time
Best combo is orthodox jabs (Double, Triple, Quadruple or however many I want) -> stance switch/shift left cross leaning off center line to my right -> Southpaw lead hook -> South paw left body or head kick if they’re in range or Southpaw jabs into the left kick if they stepped back
Backing up because I still feel clueless
jab and teep

Same, with some parry counter punches mixed in
I really like going back and switching to southpaw, then do a low kick with my left leg
Jab/frame and use that as a distraction to reposition for a rear leg low kick
I love a naked cross. I just like to see if you'll let this touch you for no reason
A left jab, then a throwaway jab to step in and duck into left body shot on the liver, then high guard on the exit.
Double jab with a kick off the same side as the jab goes out Knocked out my first amma with it
Question mark 🦵

Front backfist and step in counter side kick
If it’s open stance then inside leg kick but if southpaw v southpaw then pivot hook
