It is necessary to take punishment in a fight, not in training. The body can only absorb so much punishment before it begins to fall apart. It will come across enough encouragement in fights, i just feel there is no need to accelerate this process with reckless sparring.
Alot of it is learning to take it,now if you have the time to build a large amateur card,well you learn it in there.
If you dont have time for that,gotta learn it somewhere,Im willing to take on older fighters,so I can see both sides.
We got a girl in here recently,who wants to do MMA,I put her in with Feur,Feur was going so easy on her I had to yell at her to pick it up a bit,she dropped the girl twice.Now that girl will be a bit harder the next time,but now she knows it didnt kill her,it didnt even hurt her that bad,if youve allready felt the worse that could happen,well then,whats the worse that could happen?
I do see your point,but sometimes you dont have time to put together an amateur card,actually you have to be able to run both kinds of sparring sessions
