Sengra Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 From 2nd level and up we do point sparing with protective gear. (used by light contact and I miss it). From 4th level and up, we do Chi Sao sparring with just a mouth guard.On the weekends, we can do, point, light or full contact. Full contact has to be with head guards, 16oz gloves and belly pads. Sometimes we also do some grappling sparring.wow, that's tough!!!!^_^ The stronger swordsman does not always win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallen_milkman Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 We have been sparring every Wednesday. Sometimes points but usually timed, medium contact with gloves. Usually one person takes the middle and spars everyong for 2 minutes, then the next person goes, and the next until everyone has been in the middle. 36 styles of danger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taiji Mistress Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 I attend an informally structured outdoor class once a week here in Kent. We do a lot of sparring and cross training as it is open to people from any MA background.I know that sparring has helped my Taiji form immensely and would recommend it to everyone. Be careful of the teacher you choose as his students will be your greatest influence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
