Therefore hard sparring at range is not relevant for street confrontations.
(The last time you had a fight or argument, were you in kicking range of that person?)

Even in Muay Thai, the specialized close range art. Thats where MT excels is in close range standing. Id say something close to 80% of the technique is in close range.
What gym did you go to where they didnt let you spar hard close?
In fact, ive never been to a boxing gym that didnt allow you to spar close either. Have you actually trained at gyms or just with people from them?
