Yeah, point sparring is stupid. If you're going to compete, anything less than full contact is a waste of time. I had a teacher for about 5 months that loved these things...I think they develop awful habits and don't teach you anything about real fighting. Some would argue, reflexs and distance, timing, etc, but when everybody is just going as fast and with as little power as possible (although some throw good shots but often this is frowned upon), you aren't learning to defending against hard shots which are timed and set up differently than meaningless flicks and pokes.
