Excellent points, tick.

I go pure defense when sparring against most women - reason being is that alot of women aren't used to hitting a solid target. If she has experience and is athletic, I may bring it up to 60% or so.

With most dudes, I start out at about 60%. And I'm thankful when its my turn to spar a round or two with an experienced pro that they gauge my level and not knock me flat out.
