We're all been in with people better and worse than ourselves, and some go out to prove a point (I've either toughed it out, changed tactics or if they're an idiot backpeddeld and asked a question while sparring so they remember they're sparring!! never asked them to back off though, kept it technical)
hell must have frozen over because missy and i are agreeing lately.

i was going to say that but didn't want to sound like a pussy.... you could just agree on things before the bell rings. when i spar with a guy for the first time I say straight up, "listen we're not in here to kill each other, but to HELP each other." usually you just go a little harder each round unti you get know each other. that's what i would do. just get it straight before hand.
