Kickboxing Sparring Tips?

Kempo is giving you some good advice there and by all means talk to the instructor about it. There are some jackes (as you put it and so do I pretty much put it the same way) that inflate their egos by outcling and outfighting thirteen year olds. That would never happen at my school but sadly there are schools, gyms and instructors where this is allowed to go on sometimes and if it continues look for a new one until you get older. Whipping up on thirteen year olds is like whipping up on white belts. It does not prove a lot but I guess in some idiots' minds it does.
