The Spring Gathering Open Sparring Throwdown

The Spring Gathering Open Sparring Throwdown

For a while, now, I have been wanting to spar more–even though I do not particularly like sparring–because I find it to be incredibly valuable. In the spirit of that and of trying to build our dojo’s name recognition I proposed the idea of an open sparring meetup to my instructor.

For a while, now, I have been wanting to spar more–even though I do not particularly like sparring–because I find it to be incredibly valuable. In the spirit of that and of trying to build our dojo’s name recognition I proposed the idea of an open sparring meetup to my instructor. We talked about it for a while and finally agreed on a format where anyone from any martial art can come and spar with each other without trying to compete for anything or prove that they or their art is better than anyone else or anyone else’s art.  The flyer that we’ve given to people’s gym’s is above, and there is a Facebook page for the event where people can click the Join button at the top and RSVP.
