There is a trap in sparring, so be careful. Without contact and throwing, including the clinch, it trains reflexes which have no foundation in karate, but in sport. Once the path of sparring is chosen, one is committed to it for a long time, it takes years to become proficient. So do be careful, not of injury, there will be few, but, of dedicating your time to the right things.

Just remember to keep your hands up at all times, and closed. This is really hard for some beginners to do, and they always drop their fists really low, so they can't block in time. Just a reminder

Regarding the mouth guards. Is the Shock Doctor guard considered a 'quality' gum shield or is the consensus that it isn't worth the $10 it costs?

 

Thanks.
