Have footage or a first hand account of boneheaded sparring post it here:
Imagine this may be more contentious, but the Groenhart Brothers was the first thing that came to mind.
That dutch mentality of "hit your sparring partner ever than they'll ever be hit in a fight, then the punches in the fight won't hurt"You have punching bags for what they are doing there.

Kinda make you wonder how many potential good fighters or martial artist who have been flushed out of the gyms who spar that way.
I had a sparring partner throw a full powered hook kick at my head and I didn't even have headgear on.the guy with the red gloves who is around 2:52 is a maniac, he really throw a full power heel kick to the head...if that thing had landed the other guy would have landed in the ER.
i have nothing against hard sparring sessions, if both guys are controlled, technical and pick their shots, but most of the time it escalates in a wild brawl where two guys just swing at each other, knee each other regardless of the fact that they could hit their partners face and spinning shit like the idiot i just pointed out. and all that with 100% power...
edit: and then they do these 2v1 spars...wtf is this shit? how to get injured 101?
No footage but in my younger days I thought I was fast enough to simply duck and back out of a clinch.
It was a self correcting mistake lol.
Fuck loads. Trained at My first gym for almost 10 years and was one of the old breed MMA schools. It was nothing for us to beat the shit out of each other 6 rounds a night 4-5 days a week, and that was after 6 rounds of bjj rolling, and sometimes they would throw a few rounds of boxing/KB just for good measure.Kinda make you wonder how many potential good fighters or martial artist who have been flushed out of the gyms who spar that way.

typical day of sparring.

I dont agree with sparring like this anymore though, unless you have on facebar head gear, a chest pad, shin pads, knee pads, elbow pads, and 16oz gloves. full gear, than you can go at it.
