Wether the SCA or sparring
Sooner or later we'll hit eachother with shots you could go to jail for,and then it just escalates.
We dote over eachother the rest of the time,but if you puts sticks in our hands,or gloves on our hands,all hell is breaking loose.
Anybody else deal with this,or is it just us?
That's the sport martial arts for ya.

Back when I was in karate class, if I was technique sparring and I accidentally landed one of my shots too hard, or my opponenet moved into my shot while I was throwing hit and got hit a little hard, a quick "sorry about that" would help prevent any anger from escalating. Of course, that was just an hour-long karate session, it wasn't anything serious or competitive.
