Sparring

I think if someone wants to spar; then more power to them.

But just realize that as soon as you put on the pads and step in the ring that you are not doing Kenpo; you are kickboxing.

And before anyone jumps on me for that statement I got that directly from Mr. Planus so bring it up with him.

Sparring as it is done now is pointles, IMO. You stop with the slightest bit of contact and all form flies out the window because your just trying to touch them to get a point.
