Sparring is just as essential in the striking arts as it is in the grappling arts, but the addition of percussive trauma raises the stakes and makes safety the single most important consideration. In this short episode I talk with Ritchie Yip from The Precision Kickboxing Masterclass (http://www.selfdefensetutorials.com/kickboxing) about sparring in boxing and kickboxing and his top tips for doing it safely!

Enjoy your training,
