If you are looking to do MMA you will have to figure out how to spar on limeted rule sets anyway.

We aren't robots. And most peolple can figure out that if it is a grappling session you dont throw bombs.

The issue you might have is trying to Karate your way thought the boxing class because you feel more comfortable. Dont. Be 100% present in the class that you are doing. You will get more out of it.

(Just to clarify cos that doesn't read right. Not so much throwing kicks in boxing sparring. But resisting advice on body position, movement that sort of thing. Your karate will make you better because you have the motor skill built in allready. You will do boxing and can either take a step back in skill for a bit while you are learning new skills or stay at your level and learn nothing.)

Thanks for the advice!, I had that doubt you are right I guess different things are different things so I will just box during boxing and take it like a complete begginer

If they were the high lights, man I wonder what the rest was. At least they know they need to learn to box... even if it is from a sensei.

Whilst I applaud the live sparring with head punches ... if you think that grappling is good ... then you're clearly deluded. Also just as a FYI, when you remove that head gear and you still have face punches with MMA gloves ... it fucking hurts, and those guys were retreating after being hit. It amazes me that you think they'd do a lot better in an MMA fight than the other guy.
