I have been to many interclubs over the years, mainly Junior ones, and juniors do tend to go in hard I see no harm in this aslong as the kids are evenly matched and both fighters and instructors agree. Many instructors like myself tell the juniors to hold back, if they are too strong for there opponent(this is without head contact) If junior interclubs are like spareing, what is the point in going, unless they are novices. I see the way forward, like Ryan Rudkin does, different levels of contact for begginers & experienced, juniors and adults. I took 21 juniors to Ryan's last interclub, and everyone of them begginers loved it. My experience juniors go to differnt interclubs that have more contact.

My juniors love fighting and competing if they didn't fight regular they wouldn't train.
And none of you lot who do night shows would put 10-15juniors on so they can get experience.?
Our juniors are the way forward, they need to compete. As long as there is no head contact there isn't any problem, Yes accidents do happen, you go to your local playing feild on a Saturday morning watching kids play football & rugby, there are more injuries there.
I didn't see all the bouts at northampton, but while i was there and what i saw was ok.Yes some went in hard at sometimes but the ref stoped that, my students spare harder than that in my gym. (no medical cover lol) Some love it some dont spar again, some dont come back. It is a contact sport !
I think the adults should be controlled, the juniors should be able to compete. Aslong as they are evenly matched, age weight experienced.
Thats how my daughter got so good, fighting at interclubs competing in some hard fights against boys and girls. Not one injury ! Some people dont train kids, so what do you know about it.?
I went to Steve Logans on Saturday a well controlled interclub, some of my juniors said they didnt enjoy it because they werent allowed to compete. Some of the less experienced loved it. So different levels of contact for juniors. I think that is the way forward. That is just my opinion.
