When You Spar, How Hard Should You Hit?

When you spar, how hard should you and your partner hit?

The short answer is – as hard as you want.

If you’re preparing for a full contact match, then at least part of
your training will need to be full contact. Most martial artist don’t
compete regularly in full contact though, and many of them don’t
compete at all. For them, sparring full contact probably isn’t what
they want to do . . . but then they miss the benefits of full contact
training.

Self Defense - Listen To That Warning Voice

You spend your days as always: going to school, shopping, walking home late night from a friend’s or neighbor’s, returning home from work. Nothing out of the routine, right? But one particular day, a voice in your head (otherwise your instinct) tells you something is amiss. You feel a sense of being watched too intently, being followed too closely, even someone driving too close to the sidewalk, and you notice this is recurring with each turn you make down the blocks.
