Dear Student / Parent / Guardian
As you/your child progresses further into martial arts training, you/they will be required to show and apply the skills they/you have learnt in a spontaneous yet controlled environment with a partner. This is done through an activity called ‘Sparring’.
Sparring is essential to a student’s martial arts development as it gives them the opportunity to demonstrate their skills on a moving target. Sparring is also an excellent way of working on and developing a person’s movement, speed, motor skills, timing, co-ordination, balance and confidence.
