Doc,
Sometimes I swear we are on the same page! How true sparring is not fighting! Posturing is a beating waiting to happen. My initial teaching on fighting is targeting and attack not waiting. I guess I am too old for "games".
Too true sir. I remember talking to Ed Parker about the differences between sparring and fighting. He gave me a littany of reasons, but one stood out to me that I'll never forget.
"A tournament is a promise of a fight that never happens. As soon as a good punch is thrown, somebody breaks it up and you start all over again." - Ed Parker
