Any tips on how to build pain tolerance especially in the face so I don’t feel it as much? Some people say to just spar harder and adapt the hard way but I want something more gradual to where I can build my pain tolerance slowly. I was considering doing headgear but not sure if thats the correct thing to do to gradually build up pain tolerance.

Those other people are right. Stop being a pussy and face the pain head on. Otherwise, it’s not for you.

yeah head gear would be good for what you are trying to do but you need to start doing this now otherwise you’ll look like a clown if you train for another 2 years but still have shit resilience.

Unless it's an 8 hour work day, going more than once a week is gonna do a lot more than any sparring gear.

>planning to compete
Just toughen up, there are no secrets. The body can adapt to anything with enough time
>not planning to compete
What is the fucking point of destroying yourself for a hobby? In a self defense situation you'll be riding such an adrenaline high it really wont matter. Unless you're in a position to attempt going amateur or pro, there is zero point in anything over light sparring. Shit for most dudes on this board there is no point in anything more than shadow boxing lol.

Anon, you're just kind of a baby bitch, no offense. You might get over it if you are still young. I'd recommending hardening your body.
>t. a guy who has sent so many people to the hospital sparring that he no longer spars regularly

Strength training will make you more used to pain in general and will also make your bones stronger. You can try that.

Hard sparring is useless, don't damage your body for nothing
