Yeah, really tragic. Honestly, unless you're intending to go am/pro, I see little to no value in hard sparring. Obviously you need some sparring just to put shit together and to get a feel for timing/distance, etc. Anyone who's pushing it as some kind of "you gotta know what it's like to get hit," bullshit is a retard. That's what amateur matches are for. If you're just a hobbyist or learning for self-defens, I would even say that just doing drills with someone on mits is good enough.

You need to condition your body to not freeze up when it feels pain, or else you'll be like all those Chinese Kung Fu masters that got rocked by Xu Xiaodong. They knew all the stances, but when the first punch landed on them, they had no idea what to do.

Sparring 6-12 rounds once a week isnt going to result in CTE. And you would be a 10x better fighter than if you didnt

Is there anything scarier in this world than going the distance?
