travalling is a great way of getting good sparring partners you can find alot of sparring partners but fighting guys who you have never met or trained with. me and a couple of mates go to gyms round the country as a tour you know have a little holiday go to dublin or glasgow or york for a weekend have a train with other people is great fun and great expereince. going to mexico seems alot but thats a great chance to see how people from around the world.
