Just call me Adrian will do.

Well, I did not say free sparring is not good. My post is based on a discussion with a sports medicine researcher. We talked about the possibilities of injuries which can possibly and seriously affect our health later on. So far, there is no substantial conclusion about the danger of thrombosis causing cancer and coronary infarction and brain aneurism. But the possibilities are there and may have a few cases already happened but medical professionals are unable to link those to the actual cause. Our human body is an extremely complicated bio-machine and the scientists still know very little about it.

But the medical implication on children are very potential as their bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and etc. are still very delicate in their growing age. Injuries post great health risk to children even with protective gears.

Free sparring encourages violence and initiative to attack which is contradict to the principal of martial arts – defense.
