To hit or not to hit... that is the ? Ha ha.... I have heard the argument that point sparring teaches you to stop before actually hitting the target, which creates a very bad "muscle memory", but I feel the need to present the opposite argument... In my point sparring days.. (the way I was taught) every movement perfect technique (is the goal noones technique is perfect) and full power and full control (stopping one inch before the target) which I am incline to agree that it may cause a bad "habit"... the so called "full contact" sparring is only at 60% at best... even at that I get told to "watch the power" so wouldnt that not only create bad habits, but also inhibit the increase of speed and power? I can see both sides of the arguement, and I also know that it is not a good Idea to hit someone with everything you have with proper technique (even in a full contact fight, maybe in a real life altercation, but probably would not be required)... Would like to hear more opinions
