I think sparring should be part of every class once or twice a week. The reason I say that is because it gives the students a time to use what they have learned in class. It also gives them the chance to get use to someone throwing a punch or a kick when the student is not ready for that kind of punch or kick to be throwen at the. So in a way it keeps them on there feet just as if they were in a fight out in the streets. :erg:

Being Aggressive has a definite place for a women, balancing it though between when and where is the deal when training-sparing or using self-defense or a martial art regardless of your gender.
In addition, for man in General that is untrained, An Aggressive woman is Scary as hell.
I know, i have had a number of them run like the wind as soon as i pulled a blade out or whacked them with a stick in defense of there untrained attack. Learning an art or self-defense for a woman again is on a different level. We do it for a number of reasons. Self defense-self esteem-empowerment normally comes first on the lists of whys.
Reading the attack or aggression that is coming at you needs to be taken into account and quickly. Partly that is what a block is for, you are learning how to read your attacker, and after reading the attack you give an appropriate physical or other response... A Block or defense to an attack does not always come in the form of a physical bodily Block.
My Personal trainer has been screaming at me for nearly 4 years about me being too aggressive and using the long range, passive aggressive or evavison action more.
18 years ago my private teacher would drag me on the beach chase me around with the butt of his Dos manos stick, and tell me i was not Aggressive enough. though he was a WWII Filipino war Vet. :uzi:
Bahhhhh because of this, I would rather just go in take them out and get the hell out but thats my core self defense training talking and its just as important to learn the long as well as the short and mid ranges when sparing in or learning an art. Therefore, I do know it and I teach and use it. However, it is not my personality to be sure.....
Note: I know I am sort of generalizing here. In addition, there are always exceptions to the rules. But, generally speaking its the way I have found it too be based on, first the real life experience-then the education- then the past 5 years of research I have done for the programs we have going for women and victims of abuse-rape-assault and domestic violence.

Actually, any part of the body can be an effective block/destruction if you cut short the distance the punch is travelling. Stopping the full extention of the arm before the punch removes the summation of joint forces and deletes a good portion of the power. Not only that but the hand can be easily broken.
