So my old gym that I first started at didn't have sparring after class. We just had a 2 hr sparring class every Tuesday where we could apply our techniques, then an open mat on Friday. At the time I thought this was totally normal. When I started at my new gym a couple years ago, where we had regular sparring every day, the way my old gym did it suddenly seemed crazy to me. I feel like I'd lose my mind now if we couldn't do sparring after instructional.
Not trying to bag on my old gym, but I'm genuinely curious, is there a tangible benefit to just having sparring once a week? In retrospect they seemed to play everything really conservatively and I'm not sure why
