For the past four years, my friend Chris and I have been sparring intensely with each other in the hopes of pushing our limits. Our sparring takes place anywhere between once to 10 times a month. Here is the intresting part, we spar with no gear, never have, and when we spar we pretty much dont hold anything back. I guess this really isnt sparring anymore, is just beating the hell out of one another. But we do have respect for one another which is the only reason I still consider it sparring. What I mean by respect is, when I see an opening to easy to exploit, lets say to the face, I dont take it because I know its not necessary. But lets say he is pressing an attack, and the only way I can stop him from getting in on me is to kick him in the stomach I will do so. Through the years I have broken his arm, hand, he put a scar over my eye and the list goes on and on, yet we still fight for the love of fighting. Many people think were crazy, but get this, even though there were a few casualities, every time we finish going all out on each other, when the sparring match is over 90% of the time we are perfectly fine. Besides a few bumps and bruses our fighting skills prevailed, and I consider myself the better for it each and every time. I know now in a real fight I can handle ANYTHING, I have been blasted so many times and have gone on fighting, I know somebody has got to know some serious stuff to take me out. We would spar hours at a time, and doing that sort of thing kinda makes me feel super human even though I will always know my limitations. My question to you all is this, how do you spar outside of class, what level will you take it to and how many of you spar the way chris and I do, if so what has happened???

What is the point of bashing the hell out of each other all the time? Seems a little counter productive to me. Yes you get good fight experience but the risk of injury kind of negates that.
man thats some crazy stuff , it may be fun to kick the shiezer out of each other but dont you think it would be better to persevere in making your body stronger faster and more powerful and re start your fighting from scratch rather than batter each other to death using streetfighting techniques ??
what do bin laden and general custer have in common???

no no you use the magic mushrooms,
save the dust for the old man with the crack pipe, you gotta get some alchohol from the witch so he can freebase the dust in his pipe.

I agree, good post. I disagree with the assumption made that you were fighting with just “Street fighting”. Why is it that, since you don’t have pads on and are going full tilt, someone assumes you aren’t using kung fu?
