Feels impossible

The new school is so much better in the sense of wacht technique drills ends with 5 rounds of 2 minutes sparring. I do 3 technique drills a week and 1 heavy bag.

Is it all waste that i did train first 10 months only 4 sessions a week heavy bag? Out of those last 6 months 1 session technique drills with 2 rounds 0f sparring.

Now new gym since 3 april switched to much more technique drills. I feel i should have switched much earlier

It wasn't optimized, but that doesn't mean it was waste. You built the muscle memory and now you're learning to apply it. Unless they taught you actively bad form, so long as you were training it should help, and you'll have random 'aha' moments where you realize things you did on the bags are translating to sparring.

At the very least, it has helped you with cardio, and learning how to punch i a way to conserve your energy (even if you don't consciously realize, your body likely made those adjustments)

Definitely not a waste. I imagine that is how you can go 5 rounds. How many times a week do you do that?

So, i am doing it 3-4 times a week and 1 heavy bag now. Last week only technique drills and 4 times with sparring no heavy bag.

I should keep doing heavy bag at least once a week. I noticed that my condition is good.

Yes, i do 5 rounds and am not tired. Sometimes i feel it but then in seconds i turn the button and go further. I see regular students getting a lot tired and no gas in the tank left.

5 rounds is a respectable amount of conditioning, good job!

So, here's a reality check. This seems like a lot of training time but it's not.

To put it into perspective. Professional fighters train 4 to 6 hours a day, six days a week. One day of training equals one week of training for you.

While in my experience from my competition days 4-6 hours/day, 6-days/week is true, it is not and should Not be sustainable for the average person. Training at that intensity is 'leading up to a match' intensity. There should be more rest/recovery days factored in and the duration should be changed for the average Joe who has a life, family, work/school, etc...

In my case I did exactly what you mentioned for 3-years leading up to the Olympic Trials, all while working a 40-hour/week job, running our cattle operation, new MA's business, and newly married. It was Crazy! I will never regret it, but I don't recommend it for anyone.

Here is my point. Unless we are daily coaching the OP and fully understand their life demands, we are on sketchy ground telling them to 'do more'.
