More or less, the hard as nails ones are great, because you can almost slum as a trainer,just point them in the right direction and fire them.
The ones you baby, you develop an emotional connection with, so when they do well its like watching your kid taking their first steps.
For sanitys sake you really want both,one you can just point and say, "Go" without checking more then over your shoulder, so you can take care of the other one. I mean you still have to monitor the hard as nails types so they dont develop bad technique, but you dont have to worry so much about their psychie, just bark quick and theyll do it

Its no harm getting guys in to spar early on as long as you make sure they are not gonna get hurt, you have to feel new guys out so many think it will be easy so its best to get them to realise its not and if they continue generally they end up as decent fighters.
Its also good for confidence in the early stages as long as you make sure they are safe and dont get battered they feel good when they leave the ring and gradually step up the competion as they improve
The more a fighter is in the ring the more comforatable he will be when he is competing
I dont agree with the method used by your trainer it makes younger or inexpierenced fighters afraid to throw punches for fear of a beating.
I focus on getting younger guys comfortable in the ring, keeping there hands up, not looking away from the target, full extension on the punches, good footwork and so on once they gain a good shape in the ring grow in confidence then we can get down to hard sparring

doesn't really matter WHEN you first spar, as long as the guy in the ring with you is in there to HELP you....which basically means going easy on you so you learn something and enjoy yourself.

With that said, I went in after about 2 months (after getting the basics down via bag and mitts), and every time thereafter I made sure to let the guy I was going in with know what I expected. ie, to work TOGETHER, not against each other.

Absolutly sparring is about learning it should be competative but no one should be getting hurt in the early stages.Normally in my gym expierenced guys spar the new lads because they can handle them easy without hurting them and can give them advice as they spar i think this is a good way
