You say you can control your self huh. What about the other guy, can he control himself. What are you going to do if he gets made and stops sparring and trying to hurt you for real. Martial arts does not automatically make you a better fighter. You say you are pretty good for your rank, is that you opion or your master's, and what rank are you anyway. I'm telling you especially in high school that is a bad idea unless you all are in the same martial art class.

ok i am blue belt...

yes i know its blue >< but its my master said so and so has just about everyone who has seen me doing forms EVEN! a senoir grand master said i had a very execellent form (i was Sr G when this was said at a national tourny) and my sparring is good but the people at my school say i should throw alot more combination's since i (forgot what they said) but when i throw alot of technique's i start to lose control (like when i start running out of energy wich only happens when i workout before class) but other than all that i am good

and the guy i would be sparring is my friend i have known for awile (not the black guy i think he was joking becuz he does not want to do it anymore) but the guy that is my friend is self tought in martial arts so doing private sparring with him i am hoping he would go to a school to make his technique's sharper and just help me with... my...reflex and... recognition of when someone makes a mistake for me to be rdy and get my strike in there and.... hmm... help my blocking... and... just about everything i guess

Ok so it is you and one other guy why do it at school. Doesn't really sound like it will be a club. You know I have a friend that is self taught in fighting. He suggest that we spar sometime. The man has no control and most of his strikes can cripple even with pads. I hope you friend isn't like that, and remember it is one thing to spar in front of a watchful master, and anoither to do it on ones own.
