Very good. Although SOME may find keeping control during conflict comes naturally most must learn to do so. My "sparring partner" panicked, lost control and freaked out all over my noggin'. I imagine I could have waited for him to tire and then taken it back to him but that's not what we were there for. That's why I suggested boxing because it's one of the few martial arts where full contact is the norm. The only difference between sparring and actually boxing is the strength put behind the blows. Being able to control the amount of force used in punching is learned because most just don't understand it at first. I learned THAT the "hard way" from my friend. That's why it's an "art". And if you want to see a true "artist" at work, watch a few old Ali fights!
