sparring ring
Roped fighting square
A sparring ring is an enclosed area where boxers or martial artists practice fighting, typically a square platform bounded by ropes or padded barriers.
Unlike competition bouts, sparring is training—controlled practice rather than scored matches.
The term sometimes appears figuratively for any arena of conflict: The courtroom became their sparring ring.
