Whether it be Knee Sparring or just full out sparring. Thing's I've learned from sparring is: Spar with everyone, don't stick with one partner. Everyone has a different fighting style, so switch it up and it'll help you learn how to adapt. It's doubtful you'll fight someone in a match with your sparring partner right? Like you said Tom, sparring isn't about hurting your partner, save it for a match :P The most important thing is after sparring, try to analyze everything you did, why did I get hit so many times? Ask for feedback. Sparring is part of self development as a fighter, and the best thing you can do to prepare. You can do all the padwork in the world, but if you can't spar, well you're deadmeat.

My first month I was sparring with a really great fighter and needless to say he worked my face and stomach hard. I'm a quick learner and just recently noticed that all the sparring has helped. Last week when I sparred against him, I gave him a run for his money. It was great =). keep your hands up guys and keep sparring. mike =) I’ve been training in muay thai for about 3 months now and love it.

If you are sparring in prep for a fight, you might want to stick with what works, but if you are messing about, then you can try different setups, feints, etc. Good post.
