Understand that I'm still learning so take my advice with a grain of salt. As a smaller fighter these are things I am trying to incorporate into my sparring.
I try to use footwork to create angles (Sabaki). And I try to get to the opponents weak side usually left, but sometimes I go towards the power side and I hear that's a bad habit.
I try to play a more of a counter game. A parry can give you the opportunity to move into a better position for you.
Now what can work is a Blitzkrieg approach where you come out aggressive and try to close the gap as fast as possible, I usually get hit a lot when I try this.
Now my one of my main problems is most of the time I get too close which not only neutralizes my opponents power but my own. So what I'm trying to work is moving in and out of range.
