Those that know me well enough know that I like points of view that make one look at what we are doing and why we do it ... even if we decide NOT to change something it really does help to examine the basic questions ...
You also know I am not overly impressed with the keyboard ninja set that loves to spend their time attacking everyone in their respective internet groups ...
HOWEVER that being said there are some REAL Martial artists out there that do contribute GOOD information.
...
I happened to run across an excellent article by Sensei Richard Kirkham ... that looks at the positive and negative aspects of the issue of sparring...
Now what I like about this article/ writer is that UNlike many people he actually looks at BOTH sides of an issue with a DEPTH of knowledge ...
[obviously he has been around more than just a computer keyboard] ...
He presents his material as a way to make you think rather than just telling you what to do ...
I think his material is worth reading ... so I am including the link to his materials here with his permission.

You can come to you own conclusions but in my opinion his material will get you thinking ...
(which to me is the best complement a writer can get!)



And finally site of a friend of mine (Samuel Judah) that you just HAVE to check out ... Not only does he have a very good product to sell but
the advice he has on his website is MORE than worth your time as it applies to all aspects of Martial arts and daily fitness
here is a quote from his website that sums it up:
"WHY WE ARE HERE?
A place to share you're training tips and techniques for the Shadowboxer VRT.
Whether you're a boxer, martial artist, fitness professional or just interested in toning up."
