These sorts of amateur fights are looked down upon because they're not safe and they reflect poorly on combat sports. I don't have a problem having people sparring when both people have some training experience, but otherwise it's just amateur hour and you're looking to have someone really get hurt.

I will agree with you on some aspects of this. Two people getting into a fight is unsafe.

However, Im doing this as probably my last martial arts experience before jumping into business school. Its something fun, and my opponent is a friend. He is going to start doing MMA, so I thought this was a good match.

No training is one thing, but its not like im going to go beat up someone for their lack of ability. He has HUGE height and weight advantages over me, he is also in good condition. Plenty of MMA fights have been done in the past to find out whether technique beats muscle. I like martial arts very much, and I don't think I am reflecting badly upon it. sorry if my opening post made you feel that way.

Thanks for the post, ill be happy to answer more question or reply to comments if u have them.
