Sparring time is essential, not only to test one’s skills, but more so as an activity that brings to life a greater experience of being alive. So much of the daily grind zaps our souls – yet after the face off and amidst the action of the match, the worries of the day disappear and the thrill of a quickened heart beat are omnipresent. This is true for beginners through advanced ranks, for adults and children. However, while success and results vary each and every match, and of course there are deep and superficial struggles too, it is important to feel the exhilaration of your peak state so that this experience can remind you how to become launched out of the cocoon of comfort and complacency. Yes, awaken your fighting spirit!
