| Do any of your clubs do classes when you do nothing but sparring and sparring techniques? |

Yeah we do normally once a week. We spar for most of one class (we have 3 a week).

My old school used to. We had sparring in class, but not for the whole class, so my instructor had a "sparring clinic". We'd work on combos, drills, then sparring. It was a good work out for 2 hours.
My new school has sparring once a week during half the class.

| The higher belts can spar, but the lower have to just do their own thing. |

We have everyone work on combos during sparring days. Sometimes lower belts spar w/out pads, sometimes not. Higher belts gear up always

It's not a club, but yes we spar all the time. We do our training and then we spar. No pads. Mouth guard and groin guard, that's it.
Our teachers philosophy is you can't learn to fight properly if you don't train 100%. We don't go into trying to kill each other, but we make the hits count. We'll pull if we know there's going to be some damage done, but blood and pain is a regular here. |

thats dumb, no pads while sparring. Really dumb.
in my tkd class, ata, we wear groin, mouth, hand and feet guards, which are small enough that they can still break ribs, but not so small that blocking will break your wrist.
In my class, we learn our distance, control and strength and weekness. I will never get to be one of those people who all the sudden lifts something heavy and says, "i dont know my own strength"...
because i do.
We learn to spar with pads, but also can pull back and stuff. I think its harder going half force than full force, it forces you to think about combos and stuff, more than how hard you can hit the other guy. It also allows you to try more daring combinations and forms that might actually work, but u would never have the pleasure of finding out, becuase there is no way to perfect it if your sparring partner makes you bleed.
i know i was rambling, but do the best u can to make sense of it  |
