February 11, 200521 yr what is that? I´VE SEARCHED EVERY ONLINE ENGLISH- PORTUGUESE DICTIONARY and it doesnt find anything. I dont mean what sparring is. Fighting?
February 11, 200521 yr It means friendly fighting, to use learned techniques in a controled enviroment. You fight, but you don't go all the way.
February 11, 200521 yr Yes. You use pads to protect your head, hands, and feet, as well as a mouthguard to protect your teeth. There are several types of sparring that I've heard of such as full contact or point sparring. You generally use techniques on your partner or the person you are sparring to score points. It is like fighting. Sorry I can't explain any further, but as a yellow belt, I still have not learned how to spar. Kool Kiais: ICE! DIE! KITES! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!

February 11, 200521 yr I've sparred twice in my style... and lord knows how many times in a nonMA format. Sparring is fighting, but controlled fighting. Your goal is not subdue your opponent (a friend most likely) but to work on technique. Tournament sparring is ususally point based and the opponents have a certain level of control as to not injure their counterpart. Strength is no match for skill
