Hey, i do tangsoodo, im a white belt, i do sparring in class, but i want more. Is it okay if i spar with my friend, hes quite close, hes a brown belt in kickboxing.

He said we should do 10 rounds of 2 min sparring.

i texted my master about his thoughts and if hes fine with it, he said it can be dangerous and get out of hand as its not supervised.

I told him that we should do light contact.

what are your thoughts?

    Seriously, I think sparring in a structured enviroment ie. Gym or Ring is a better idea.

    Otherwise give Iron Mike a call in Vegas.

    Why the heck are you even asking this lol? If the guy you want to spar with isnt an idiot i dont see why you wouldnt go ahead and do it. Just stop when someone says stop and wear your gear.
