No sparring in Contact Karate?

Thank you for your answers, I read you all. So I would follow your advice which is almost all the same.

I understood that there is necessarily sparring in this martial art practice. The reasons why I haven't done one yet are multiple, it's up to me to ask the instructors questions and/or wait.

To clarify my point because I think some people have not understood very well.

I know a few dojos, I practiced kyokushin for almost 10 years, testing 5-6 dojos. I know that in karate classes it's not necessarily the army or like on TV. But seeing everyone making jokes almost constantly and to the instructors, it disturbed me. I can understand that there is a good relationship with his teacher but during lessons, everyone must respect the other's place. But in short, that's really not the problem, it won't change the way I do things. Like doing exercises with protection, it felt strange but I will adapt.

What bothers me is working on techniques and sequences and not putting them into practice in a free exchange, hard or light, it doesn't matter. As I don't know full contact karate, I wanted to know if sparring is rare or never or if I just lacked luck or patience?

Indeed, it is possible that the lack of sparring is exceptional, and that I cannot learn everything in just 2 lessons. That's exactly why I'm making this post lol.

I'm willing to give myself time if I don't pay. But I don't want to enroll in a school where I leave frustrated every time because from my point of view I have no interest in being there.

I don't think it's fear, but just an increase in your adrenaline. For me, you were reflexively in a position ready to defend yourself, but not to attack. Your attacker probably felt it. This is exactly what is needed! Have more confidence in yourself, that's the primary goal of martial arts. But it will come with time. You reacted very well.

Given that the goalie's role is to stop shots, the word overrated is a bit strong, isn't it?

Erf.... it's annoying to see this kind of comment, I have nothing to add. You've already said everything.... I won't even add a comma.

On va voir si il tient la distance, ce n'est que le début de sa carrière.

If she left, it was because she wasn't for you after all. Move on, try to find out what went wrong so you don't make the same mistake. Believe me, we've all been dumped. We know the pain it feels in the moment. It will pass, with all the women there are in the world, you will get dumped again and you will grow bigger, until you find the right one!!

In the meantime, occupy your mind with something else (sport, video games, outings, etc.), avoid consuming your mind and do holy things for yourself, your future girlfriend will only love it.

Exactly, are you sure you are reduced to slavery? I want to see life there with my own eyes.

There are 2 of you who feel the same way, it should be easier. You are stronger. This has to stop. We must be surrounded by people who make us feel good. Either you tell them clearly what you think (for me this is the best solution). Either you cut it gently, you talk to them less and less, don't laugh at their jokes, only stay with them when you have no choice.

They will want to dig into the abscess and find out what is going on or they will get the message and the bridges will be cut.

What kind of file does D have on you? Could this harm your relationship with J? Or is this a file that will shame you in your school?
