Dwayne,

To me, it doesn't matter who long you've been training before you start sparring. As long as you have the basics down, you should be okay.

Everyone develops bad habits, regardless of their style or system. It takes a good instructor to spot those habits and help you break them. The important thing is the proccess of development that sparring gives you. Not just timing or response, but also the fitness and endurance levels that can be gained through continued sparring.

Plus. It's a lot of fun..
