Contact sparring is important because then you learn to take it more seriously. When there is no contact, people tend to just goof around and they make very poor decisions in their selection of techniques, this creates very bad habits and then you will be in big trouble in a real fight. When you are used to contact sparring, you don’t joke around, you don’t do stupid things, you are more intelligent with your selection of techniques. When there is contact, you are in greater awareness, you are in greater meditation, you have to be presently aware at that moment in order to not get hit. In the middle of the sparring, Hassan almost caught me with a very hard hook, I was lucky to get away from that one. Every time I spar, my aim is always to never get hit, if I get hit even just once, that means that I have not perfected the Art and that I need to keep training hard to be untouched while I defend myself from danger.
