  "story": "The English article is clear that sparring is \"often a light to medium contact exercise\" for exactly that reason, and that specific things get trained in it — close range, clinch and knees only, cutting off the ring, keeping an aggressor at distance.\n\n*Inference —* a gym where the sparring is hard every day is a gym that is not preparing anyone for anything."

  "story": "บทความภาษาอังกฤษระบุชัดว่าการสปาร์ \"มักเป็นการฝึกสัมผัสเบาถึงปานกลาง\" ด้วยเหตุผลนั้นพอดี และมีเรื่องเฉพาะที่ฝึกในนั้น ทั้งระยะประชิด การจับคอตีและเข่าอย่างเดียว การต้อนเข้ามุม และการกันคนบุกไว้นอกระยะ\n\n*อนุมาน —* ยิมที่สปาร์หนักทุกวันคือยิมที่ไม่ได้เตรียมใครไปทำอะไรทั้งนั้น"
