Hello all...
Can someone please explain the benefit of "freestyle sparring" to me.
In most (not all) schools that use this as a means to teach their art, the sparring in no way looks like the forms that are required for testing.
Shouldn't sparring technique at least resemble the forms?
If it doesn't, does that mean the forms are pointless, or does that mean the sparring is not reflective of the art?
Why would one spend so much time learning kata and bunkai and then get out on the sparring floor and do bad kick-boxing?
I am curious.
