I will only contact spar with friends or students, not just with any stranger. With a stranger, you don’t know what his intensions are, a sparring match can turn into a real fight in a split second. When you are sparring with friends or students, you are there to progress together as a team, as a family. It is not an opposition. It is like one basketball team training amongst one another to prepare for the game against another team. Here it is Martial Artists coming together to help train one another to prepare against the violent criminals on the streets.

Training in contact sparring is a very delicate process. There needs to be a special chemistry, I see it is very similar to finding a dancing partner, both individuals need to be highly trained and be connected in order for the sparring demonstration to flow gracefully in which to become artistic. Both individuals need to be in meditation. If one individual is full of ego, competitiveness, and anger then it will destroy the energy of the sparring session and result in something ugly, destructive, and violent.
