I always told my students when doing sparring to fight right but there is no need to hurt so badly our oponent, and alays said we are camardes and inside the dojang there is no place for brutality, am I right?
A few years back doing a test the other black belt who's going sparr me aproached me and asked me: How it's going to be? leting me know he wanted to know if we were to engage in a hard full contact, I told him: This is a test we don't have to kill each other out there don't you think? - He agreed and then I told him. Lets do a nice fight and try to nail each other with nice points so the people atending the test had a good time.
We sparr very well, full contact and trying to do fair points, there was a no winner or sambonim did not call one.
Lather I herd this black belt was a surgeon (doctor) and he was sa little worried about his hands (He used full armour, I mean, Hogu, helmet, arm pads, tkd gloves,shiun/instep pads, cup and maybe a mouth piece, I just wore a hogu and the helmet) because a broken hand or finger could put him away from doing surgery.
I don't think tkd feloows must broke jaws or arms or even nooses to have a good match doing sparring and you? what do you think?
