Mixing it up

What's your opinion on this?
When I was a kid ( young ) we all use to slap fight with our friends and wrestle a lot. It paid off , that was long ago. With all the video and internet stuff around today practicing marital arts without a teacher especially sparring is unwise in my opinion. If one must , I would recommend protective equipment.
my best to all
