I'm not sure if this is going to work, but I'm interested to know what most of you are using and deduce which skills are the most important in sparring.

I voted for fists, open hands and low kicks.

Back when I did free-sparring the sparring format we did where basically straight punches and kicks targeted from waist and up, low kicks not allowed but foot-sweeps where. I guess I would fall back into this if I where to free-sparring again.

Maybe it’s the PROBLEM. To get this post through I had to do some tough sparring with the login function, fists almost began to fly :)

Not much nowadays, not much at all. I did my share of sparring many years ago.

Sparring many years ago counts! As long as it wasn't patty cakes soft sparring... Just tell us what you used back then.

Can’t vote, I mean the sparring I used to do wasn’t full contact(traditional Japanese Karate sparring/fighting/competition). Most full contacteers view that as not tough enough patty cakes...

It depends. I have seen some tough point fighting without safety equipment. Only you know if it was hard sparring or not. Just be honest with yourself.

Login troubles! There was nothing in the poll about foot sweeps, an oversight I suppose. Very useful if you time them right...
I define internal martial art as unusual muscle recruitment and leave it at that. If my definition is incomplete, at least it is correct so far as it goes.
