Yes, it is about flow, realism, and style.
However, I'd rather see a spar with contact hits then sissy dodges and blocks.
Bro, missing a kick won't always lead to "more fluid, realistic and just generally better" looks.
Most of the time, you go off-balance, and your shit-fucked for about 100 frames until you can recover.
People who have sparred for a long time and have understood the things to think about when sparring actually aim where they're going to hit.
Also, about "missing hits" what if the sparrer is leaping over the other, but the head is very close to tapping, and the one who is dodging has suddenly changed something?
Saying "I changed something" most likely wouldn't help the case.
Those who are able to see every little change in movement will lead to easier planning.
BTW, to those of you who are talking about competitive mods such as aikido,
Just a suggestion good for sparring/parkour/Tricking or something
