philly man your jkd class doesnt spar? maybe you need to find a new place. i cant imagine a martial arts with no sparring.
instead of going to the same school for sparring i recommend you to go to competitions. there you will see all kinds of sparring and styles out there. going to the same one place will give you habits, and we should not have habits when you are a fighter.
the competition will always give you a person in front of you that you never met, you dont know how fast or strong he is, it keeps you nervous, and teaches you to "read" your opponent. if you want to go to schools, then go to as many schools you can, but i dont think theres going to be many school that will let you in.
