JerryLove Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Sparring is "play fighting". Tell me your native language and I'll tranlate the word for you... http://world.altavista.com/ https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansoouser Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 ya sparring is practicing against an opponent you can go full contact in some MA's like judo but others are to dangerous and either go slow mo or light contact or only certain contact point But you could spar in anything practically, with swords chess checkers cooking The amateur shoots his hands out ferociously, but lacks any true power. A master is not so flamboyant, but his touch is as heavy as a mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryLove Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Sorry, can't find a specific word that translates well... closest phrase appears to be "play fighting" or "luta do jogo" https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuayThai Fighter Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I disagree,playfighting is simply playfighting and sparring is sparring. Sparring is full contact fighting in martial arts as far as I am concerned and anything like point sparring is playfighting,because it is not based on reality training.

JerryLove Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Tell me again how those words are easier to translate int Portuageese than "sparring" was to begin with? Or in your rampant frothing to troll did you decide to ignore the actual point of the question? https://www.clearsilat.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valithor Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 One could argue that playfighting is playfighting and sparring is sparring.. but one could also argue that sparring is sparring and fighting is fighting.. While we're talking translation.. I've managed to deduce the meaning of troll.. but I'm just wondering where that word is used, and by whom? Keep Smiling!

Guest Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Sparring is a rather difficult word to directly define by a martial artist because it's not easy to describe without using words like "Fighting" and the like. But using "fighting" to define sparring is incorrect, as fighting only describes real combat, while sparring is a controlled action used to simulate combat through use of slowed or reduced-contact attacks, not that most of you don't know what sparring is to begin with.
