This is only true if you have some skills going into the Kwoon. An adult with no Martial Arts experience has no idea how to spar, fight. They have no gear or even know what sparring gear is.
How can a person with no experience what so ever, even know what to do? If it is a friendly match, will that beginner know how to hold back? Will they get injured because they have no clue what to do, Probably yes?
YouKnowWho, you using an old school way and thinking the student already has some experience. I would not recemmend this for the average beginner with MA experience.
