Hi everyone - I'm Furious George, and I've just signed up on this forum. I look forward to discussing kungfu with you all
I get the impression from reading various message boards that in many kungfu schools there is little or no sparring...is this true?
do you spar in class regularly?
what types of sparring do you do?
will partner drills make up for a lack of sparring?
Personally I think it is necessary to spar in a variety of ways and with real contact in order to become a proficient fighter - however I also know that being a 'fighter' is not always the goal of a kungfu person.
We spar every class, and the contact-level varies from light to near-full contact amongst the older students...
What about you guys?
