In Kamon for example, you learn structures, shapes, body mechanics, energy, etc. Then we spar using good technique. In my experience, if you throw two people together to spar who haven't learnt good techniques, sparring is a mess.
Sparring, for me, should be about applying the techniques you HAVE LEARNT, and not to teach someone how to do a technique
What is the point of hittig a pad if you are hitting it incorrectly?
That is why I like an art that has both the namby pamby stuff (forms, drills etc) and the harder, more intensive stuff (sparring, padwork, conditioning etc)

Why cant you learn technique on a pad?
If anything you can do it better because you get to do it at different angles, with footwork or simply with a static padman. I cant see how learning a strike on a pad can be negative.
However, i was asking about the sparring, how is hard sparring not that relevant for the street, you said it wasnt ideal, though you did say it had relevance you said it was "okay"
how is it just ok? whats wrong with it in terms of preparing for a street fight or any fight?
