Sparring tips:
-Never grab
-When hitting, remember to keep the blows quick so that the opponent doesn't have the chance to hit you back.
-For better preformance, do some kicks on your hands, and punch with lunges as if you were fencing.
-Be fluent. Relax joints you aren't using for momentum and power, relax knee while kicking and don't hit with the same half as your body twice.
-Keep the action going. Don't kick your opponent far away or vice-versa. Always be attacking.
Hope I helped.

Here's a couple of more tips that come in handy when sparring:
-Do not worry about the score. Sparring is pretty much just showing off, like a sp replay. If it looks good, people are going to like it, doesn't matter if you lose or win.
-Aerial kicks are always a plus in my opinion as well, as long as you don't keep kicking non-stop.
-Blocks look great. I love combos where all the hits are blocked and then there's a final blow that temporarily knocks out the oppent. But don't force it, if they don't look natural it will just look like a failure, even if you manage to block the attack.
-Knock outs. When a player manages to score a nice, powerful hit, most of the times it looks good if you act realistically to the blow and take the hit. I don't see sparring as a match against another player, when you spar you and your "opponent" are a team. It's no shame to lose in a spar if it looks good.
Finally I would advise you to find a sparring partner. A friend that has approximately the same level of experience that you have. If the other player is way more skilled than you he'll get bored and it won't be fun to either of you.
If your partner is like yourself you'll have the change to improve together. For example, I spar most of the times with Filipe. He's my classmate and fellow band member so our schedules are almost the same. He's a good friend of mine as well, and that really is a key factor for me to have a good time, not to mention that he has some nice sparring skills too.
Results come with time and practice. If your first tries don't look good don't worry, Toribash is one of those games that takes time to improve.
That's everything I remember right now that Alert hasn't mentioned yet.
Just one last advice, don't go sparring just yet. You should get used to running and -30 gravity.
Here's a running tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsLquVtVl_k . You can start by using the run explained there. It's called the "verax run", and it's a nice run to start with.
Try it a few times, and then try to find your own way to run. Experiment to see what helps you keep balanced and with momentum. Those are the first steps to be able to improvise later. I don't have a premade run that I use in every spar. It's more unique if you don't repeat the same thing over and over again, but it takes more practice too.
That's it.
Practice, have fun, and don't lose hope.
Nobody gets exceptionally good at TB with just a couple of months playing.

Off-topic: Indeed Dragenon, your tips helped me alot when I first started to make replays.
They gave me just the boost I needed to start improving on my own.
A few days ago I looked at my application at DP's DSC and had a laugh watching my old replays.
That's what keeps me in DP. I look back and see how much we improved and the friendships I built here.
