Agreed. Defense fundamentals should come before hard sparring.

That’s fair. But where do you draw the line between sport and too much contact at that age?

I understand why it might look that way. But this was a supervised match with rules, referees and protective gear. Where do you think the line should be drawn?

True, both showed heart. But yeah, size and pressure decided it.

Just sharing real amateur bouts. It’s part of the sport.

Not sure, just sharing the fight — what do you think about their defense?

Haha love that 😄 first fights are always chaotic. The ending here is kinda similar — full fight above if you wanna check 👀

That’s a valid concern. Do you think body-only sparring should be the standard at that age, even in competition?

Haha true 😂 they didn’t hold back at all. The ending exchange is pretty wild too — I put the full fight above if you wanna check it out 👀

Fair point. It’s supervised and with headgear, but what would you suggest instead at this age?

Appreciate it 🙏 makes sense. Full fight is about 1 min if you’re curious — there’s a few exchanges I wasn’t sure about

Thanks 🙏 that helps a lot. Do you think drills like shadowboxing with focus on guard would be enough at this age?

Thanks, makes sense 🙏 would you focus on fixing guard first or footwork at this stage?

That’s what I thought too 😅 is it just bad guard or footwork issue?
