Yes. Sparring etiquette is important. I was recently asked to be a S/C coach for a new MMA gym in Portland and the culture the head coach created didn’t work for me. He was proud that nobody at other gyms wanted to spar with his star pupil and couldn’t see why. He encouraged him to spar way too hard. On top of that the coach wanted to do hard conditioning way too often. Creating a great fighter is all about the slow build. Patience and temperance is way for long term success.

The problem is how do you gauge 40%? You don't. A lot of those punches will end up being 100% on impact, especially if it's beginners. Even if you could measure it, what would be the point? You're only going to concuss each other 40%? The brain doesn't care if the punch that bounced it around the skull was only 40%.

Praise the cte/concussion 99% of the people get from heavy sparring in the gym without archiving anything in their life.. Don't mention the 0.1% tip of the iceberg. Especially if you are an amateur fighter, you might as well fight more often than spar heavy. Amateur fight are secured, and going pro will reset your record.

My coach usually does pad work, light sparring and shows us combos making small statements on the combos But sometimes i feel like he focuses only on the experienced fighters and not on fighters like me that rather need more technique tips So most of the time i dont know if im doing something wrong or if i am doing everything right

[@uncle4334]

Bro SAME. I caught wind of that in my Gym in seconds. I’m getting my ass beat left and right by the Coaches favorites. Then I get yelled at for not knowing how to defend myself back. It’s like bro, I just started training here as a beginner two weeks ago and I already spared on the second day not knowing shit.

[@CantStopFade]

Best way to get better in that situation is become friends with the better fighters and have them help u out.

[@noahb6969]

Heavy sparring isn’t decided by coaches more by us and heavy sparring teaches u so much, use just go to soft gyms

[@Kevin-ji3zq]

Too heavy isn't good either

[@ibrock476]

I've boxed for years now and my training doesnt look ANYTHING like this!

[@Skittleshark]

No u just teaching how to fight. Last dude kinda did it brutaly but better to learn then to find out.

[@someone-um4ip]

Learn what? How to get brain damage?

[@jackwilson6903]

A true man didn't need a coach

[@zab9280]

Even the best of the best needs a coach

[@taygokrazzy7721]

Should coaches let their fighters fight in both stances or just one?

[@societyisscaredofmasculine8546]

Beginners should just focus on one stance, once you are at amateur level it's okay to experiment.

[@notadaytrader]

@@societyisscaredofmasculine8546 I started in both, and found comfort from the beginning in both. I did the same for football. Never train one side of the body over the other. It makes the brain work twice as hard later.

[@LOOKOUTFILMZ]

Yea when the first one where they just literally beat you for no reason

[@jozcky]

If I was a coach this is what a normal day would look like Workout warm up Dragon board without gloves Bag w gloves Sparring Break Heavy sparing no helmet Conditioning
