The guy on the right keeps his sword behind his body. He has no guard. He invited his opponent to attack him. He then counters it. You need to have good speed in order to do so.example of not using a physical guard against a physical guard

For hands only.If these 2 were people that you were training. What advice would you give them as their coach or trainer?
This is the first thing I look for as well in all martial arts except for MMA. MMA is such a mix bag of taking pieces of systems that it's not possible to know if they trained in one system or not.What I look for in clips, regardless of level, is whether the practitioners are using what they train in.
Good speed and excellent timing. Unless you are in your teens and 20's where the reaction time is naturally better than someone in their 40's and 50's. Encouraging the strike you want is also a good plan. Never let your opponent choose the strikes to throw. Always do things to encourage the strike that you want. This makes it less of a guessing game.The guy on the right keeps his sword behind his body. He has no guard. He invited his opponent to attack him. He then counters it.

This is easy to do. You can always set the sparring rule that student can only win that round if they use a certain technique they train.they use what they train.
I agree and unfortunately that is one rule that I did not make in sparring. I will probably do it the next time I teach Jow Ga depending on the person I'm teaching and their willingness to try and explore with a technique. Your way addresses a person's desire to win. Shape what counts as winning.This is easy to do. You can always set the sparring rule that student can only win that round if they use a certain technique they train.

2 man sets can be useful if used correctly. However the majore problem with 2 man sets is that they are usually System A vs System B.2 man set, example of how the style is used.
Do not use "zombie arms" ... Extending straight arms to keep the person away will not stop punches.
Straightening both arms (Zombie) while trying to grab can get you KOd.Zombie arms is used to obtain clinch.
Yes. In Holloway vs Topuria, Ilia...Case in point, did anybody see the Holloway/Topuria fight? Obviously, both stand up fighters. Topuria’s superior boxing skills dominated the fight. Granted there is much more to MMA than boxing and boxing, although definitely adds to self defense doesn’t necessarily make for good street self defense in and of itself, as going fisticuffs with an assailant isn’t optimal. But it seems when virtually any MA spars it simply becomes boxing with kicks included. It might become something more, but that’s how it typically starts out.
