If that's correct you might want to look bobbing/weaving into punching range as opposed to countering with just a quick step in.

I don't know what kind of reach differential you're looking to overcome but if it seems like you have to reach all the time than that could be a hint that in-fighting will be better suited to your body type.

That's something to ask your coach about.

Happy New Year back atcha!
