It makes sense that this style of teaching works better. I don't think it's going to come as a major surprise to anyone who practices full-contact combat sports. Sparring is essential to developing skill for fighting, and it makes complete sense that this would generalize to self-defense. Glad to see people with a more self-defense focused practice working on ways to apply live training methods to self-defense specific skills. I also really appreciate your point that martial arts can be worth doing completely independent of their combative value. It's something too many people forget. Play is the oldest form of martial arts training, predating the evolution of humans.
I was stung by the part where they mentioned the different parts of Olympic sparring but they only said clinch, distance management and cut, do you know what other elements Olympic sparring contains?
