During my son's early years of training he simply wouldn't engage in repetitive style training with swords/sticks. He was more than willing to spar or play. So I had to find alternative ways to get across skills and concepts and build attributes instead. Eventually he is all the better for it and an incredibly adaptive fighter who cannot be predicted. He rarely looses in competition and the mindset has carried over to other traditional sports.
