Technical Sparring by Bellator Fighters Luis Bertao Nogueira and Junior PQD DaSilva

Thanks Bill, i am glad there is more folks out there sharing this opinion. In our case it all comes from Thailand where guys faught as often as they could and therefore hard sparring (with gear) was a ones a month thing. It seemed more important to daily work on your patterns, angles, counters and defenses. And fact is if you sparr hard you get hit but you dont have time or the opportunity to figure out what went wrong and therefore i prefer this method. That been said a few times here and there hard sparring should be in any preparation. Thanks again guys and keep watching Ty

Dave, with young ones or "hot heads" i use bareknuckle sparring drill where no protective eqipment is used and they learn relly quick to play nice. Bottom line all these young ones and their high dollar shinguards causes them to throw legkicks like they go out of style or something. No set ups or anything, take the pads away and it becomes technical and caluculated . Pros wear pads Ammy's dont lol
