@Frode Falch just needs @Sano. Then they will definitely bang!Too light IMO. I feels like you aren't keeping each other honest, and the speed is too slow motion. I'd at least spar 100% speed light power.
Careful you don't get too predictable with that front foot going up and down. You could get lead into a trap when someone prompts you to pick your foot up and then you can't move quickly.

Its pretty much "flow sparring" for me: to warm up, get comfortable throwing combos, and footwork/stance practicelol this is like Tai Chi speed.
I don't post in this tab here too often, but as someone who's boxed for a long time and making the transition to MMA, sparring at full speed has its benefits like improving reflexes and realistic timing of strikes and movements, but the main problem with it is that you overwhelm your partner's reactions and while you may land more strikes, it can reinforce bad technique and strategy. The most obvious of which is you won't learn how to effectively set up shots and position yourself correctly in a real hard spar or fight, also leading to poor defense. All of us can recount boxing/kickboxing/MMA fights where a striker with inferior speed but better fundamentals won via upset.Too light IMO.

Its extra protection. Karate/TKD boots. I kicked into a elbow last week.

Most of you posters already know this and probably have more experience than me in this regard. The MT stereotype of "full power, punching through your opponent" thus suffers from these drawbacks.
light bang, sometimes you bang too hard and too fast, then it drains you over time. til you can find the right, perfect partner to get more quality bangs inIts a good speed if you are injured and want to keep reflexes.
