sparring session
Controlled combat practice
A sparring session is a practice fight, typically in boxing or martial arts, where opponents exchange blows without trying to injure each other.
The term extends to any structured verbal confrontation or debate: The interview turned into a sparring session between the candidate and the journalist.
Unlike actual fights, sparring sessions are training exercises—controlled, educational, usually with rules limiting intensity.
