STRIKING THREAD PART 2: Tips for avoiding permaneant brain damage?

Cocaine's an expensive supplement. Not even sure if you can get it at Holland and Barrett.

 

The Valero and Tyson clips are examples of what hard sparring looks like, in boxing at least. Hopefully an idea of what you wanted to see.
Yes, it is at pro level, but good examples of hard sparring are found in pro gyms with aggressive fighters.
Two pros can handle hard sparring and to them it's not too bad. To the observer it might look bad. That's where their training got them to. They are chilled but switched on..not too fazed ,used to it etc. An good aim for anyone.

Tyson is a great example of a true representative of hard sparring. To him and his team....that's the spar.
I'd hate someone to agree to a hard spar and not realise what one actually is. Better,to me,to set for THAT and keep safe than treat it Like less and get caught.
As it says in the Valero clip, knockouts can be rare, but do happen. That's just part and parcel of it.

I'll leave others to show examples of lower level guys doing hard sparring and maybe lighter sparring that the hobbyist should aim for.
Don't see the point myself as will just set an unrealistic impression of what real hard sparring is and keep ambitions low.........but hey ho.

 

Conviced rapist, attempted cannibal and current drug addict Tyson or just the boxing bits?

 

More just knocking people out pro fighter type. IF rather hope that those other parts aren't required to become world class.

 

My school has like fight teams you can join. Are these similar things?

 

So is this closer to hard sparring in Muay Thai?

Yes hard sparring could be defined as heavy cardiovascular sparring or hard hitting sparring. I was defining it as hard hitting sparring
