I do want to Scrap - I think she puts in more power when people are watching and often tries to coach me but I do notice a change in the coaches mood sometimes after I have sparred her which I don't like - so I'm being a little cautious.

Overall she's a nice girl - just very happy playing the dominant role whenever she can.

I've given her a couple of blood noses just with straights she's walked into when I'm boxing from the outside and she forgives me but I'm not sure about the coach.

Still you're right I am falling into bad habits - being too submissive when it actually gets me into trouble more than helps me -

She's not a complete beginner anymore so maybe I'll gradually amp it up when the coach is watching enough to see I'm not the one initiating the power.

I know she wants to learn enough to get over it eventually and I guess if he doesn't then I'll just tackle that if it happens.
