mtheiss Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Ok, I see two schools of thought here. What is a sparring match? I have had for a long time (and bear with me because i am not someone who is close to karate) percieved as a sparring match as one where two students meet during class in a semi serious manner to test skills in front of senseis and other students to show if they are aware of what is going on with the instruction and are able to understand "in practice" how to do moves. However, as I talk with people, I see a far different picture in reality. In the reality that I experience with some people, they see a sparring match as a serious one on one experience (at times as a school vs school session) where the participants will not cease hard core serious action until one fighter is down on the mat "knocked out". Can you all give me an idea which is the more normal opinion you have on this matter. I would like to know what sort of thinking goes on here.
