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

Well, this is of course nice thinking, but you have tho calculate the odds.
As a teacher one has to make sure that a student doesn't get hurt as well as making sure he learns correct.
And since everyone here always likes to quote Lee, remember even he did sparr in full gear to minimze injuries.
It doesn't give you JKD if you'll be injured most of the time during sparring and travel between doctors and the gym.
