Spars are a fact and necessity in all fighting styles, many time sparring is seen as a right of passage into the sport. Often time, unfortunately, spars get out of hand when one or both fighters begin throwing venomous punches- punches with full force, meant to inflict much damage. Sparring is meant to be constructive, not destructive. Many fighters have the urge to throw everything they've got into a spar. There are no winners in sparring and knockouts, bad bruises, and especially cuts are frowned upon in a spar. The true purpose of sparring is so the fighters can determine the skills they need work in such as defense, offense, or conditioning and should always be done in full gear. (as depicted above)
