yeah i know what ur talkin about garland. ive only been training for about a year in muay thai in boxing. i started sparring after about 3 months, when i had all the basics down. when i spar at my school, me and most of my classmates spar light, because we arent here to try n be tough or beat people up. we want to learn and practice and gain skill. u dont need to spar hard all the time, u can spar light and be relaxed and fluid, working ur skills and techniques to learn and improve. sadly theres always a few people who would rather just brawl and feel the need to prove themselves to others and go too hard when we are just trying to work on our form and techniques. i dont mind going harder with those that want to, but im training to learn and get better, not to because i want to beat on someone or show others im tough. if i wanted to do that, id go to smoker matches or compete. i dont want to get knocked out or break my nose when im just trying to train. i think when u spar with people, u have to work with them , and they have to work with u if u are trying to gain skills and better ur techniques. my instructor likes to pair me with people of lesser skill and athletic ability sometimes when we spar because he knows i wont just pummel them, ill work with them and let them develope skills and give them tips. not everyone has the same views i guess when it comes to learning, training, and sparring.
