Just respect what your instructor would like to do for now. Maybe he is just looking at the safety issues. But maybe in the coming days when you yourself feel that your stick work has improved..throw the idea of sparring again. Use either smak sticks or the like- these are good sparring equiptment that will help you in sparring realistically. Armors are okey as well..but you need to set parameters that a stick spar wont end up just banging each other with it, but actually using the techniques that you guys are learning..just my two cents.
