Am I seriously losing out by not sparring?

Good question. See Sparring is not Fighting.

quote KravMDjeff:

Just a thought…students I’ve trained who have gone on to defend themselves in real life (mostly law enforcement and/or military), usually had no sparring experience when they defended themselves successfully.

True, but also keep in mind LEO / Military does a lot of stress drills and consims to help us have “mini-fights” before we actually get in one. That way we get used to the order of operations for a fight, ie fight, fight, fight, control situation, radio, help… Its all in varying degrees depending on the academy- but everyone I have worked with has had some type of “reality based” training to help cope with the stress of altercations of all levels.
