I was talking specifically about tearing mens guts out with your fists. Nothing else. Something Bruce Lee claimed was baseless to practice in a ring. I dont agree. Tournament fighting is the next step on sparring. If Bruce disliked either of these things then he did not train realistically.

Well Bruce always sparred. He just didn't fight in the ring that much. The idea being that fighting in the ring makes you restricted to the rules of the particular sport you are competing in (Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling etc...).
