i believe that JKD sparring can never be done with Boxing Gloves, it should always be done with gloves that allow grabbing.

I would neither call any sparring without a headgurad with a face grill and groin guard JKd Sparring. When it is JKD sparring everything should be allowed.

You can't of course sparr like this all time, and you can't go with full power.. But I belive that one should regularly test ones techniques in "everything goes" sparring sesion. This is the only way you know if you can Hit the groin of an opponen and if your own groin is protected, that your Training methods are taking you in the right direction
