Are you serious? That sounds really strange to me, cos when I done Karate when I was about 12, I always had to Spar against my sensei! The reason I always had to go against him is because after two weeks of doing Karate I was put in a competition in which I came second against about 5 other black belts! Somehow he thought that I was naturally tough/strong or whatever. Due to this, I was always Spar'in seriously against him and I was knocked out at least two times. *Note, after 3 weeks, I had to participate in the adult class due to me wanting to fight a lot. Unfortunately I had to stop all the sports i done due to a wrist injury that to this day is painful.
Frankly, I think I suck at martial arts, but I did have strength and speed (which apparently was a good reason for me to be in adult class). Anyway, the point is, we did spar'in both in kids class and adult class. More so in adult class where it was full out fighting between the other adults!
