Is It Ok To Sparr With The Same Opponent..

Variation in sparring partners is highly beneficial if an array of sparring partners are available.
However, if there are limitations in terms of numbers one sparring partner can be perfectly adequate.

Free sparring the same opponent countless times will not maximise his benefit to you though.

If you could converse wiyth him before hand and discuss what you want to learn from one another, i.e you want right hand counters, he wants to strengthen his body defense, You could turn the spar into a drill which could prove a huge learning tool.

Or try something we do a lot try two sparring partners at the same time. It keeps you on your toes

I've actually done this Scrap. In the last 4 months I've had 10 friends join our club, of those 8 are remaining and of those 3 have their medicals already. Did a round with the 2 of them my age who are just new and I'd like to think it was productive, but if anything it was more funny. In trying to hit me I actually think they were hitting each other more throwing like wild lil animules lol.
