I have only seen 1 newbie with that attitude in my gym. 230-240 lbs of bodybuilder muscle, comes wearing soccer shinguards. We were doing light sparring with leg kicks and how to take smaller hits, so everyone was going super light. This dude wails away on my leg twice. I tell him to chill and he does the same thing again. Next round does the same thing to a girl who had been training couple of months and she actually stopped sparring with him mid round because of his control issue.
Next round one of the senior coaches spars him and starts teeping all his roundhouses away. Just stands there, teeps his kick and teeps him backwards. The fact that the coach was under 150lbs added insult to injury. He never showed up for 2nd class.
lol, wut?
So was it sparring or just drilling? If sparring, your coach lets fresh people spar right away? Even if its light, we have the typical no-sparring-until-3-4-months-in.
