Sparring is a form of (usually) non-lethal combat led by the squad commander to train Template:Ls in their combat skills in Template:L. Sparring takes place at Template:L; off-duty soldiers will engage in training activities, such as watching combat demonstrations and individual training drills with other off-duty soldiers.
To assign a soldier to sparring, you must schedule his or her squad to train. This is accomplished by opening the military screen, selecting the squad from the list, choosing to alerts the selected squad, then assigning the squad to Active/Training (Or whatever you have named it) You must have at least one assigned training area, beds, weapon racks, and armor stands to name some.
Equipment
When soldiers spar, they practice (and thereby gain experience) with whatever Template:L and Template:L they have been assigned, including Template:Ls. Thus, in order to train Template:L, it is necessary to assign the recruits axes, and so forth with all other Template:Ls. The weapon you wish for them to spar with can be chosen through the military screen, and then the equip selection.
Injury
During sparring soldiers can get wounded, ranging from minor injuries to loss of ability. This cripples their training time, (Leading to death in real combat) or disables them to fight at all. To avoid injury you can
- Equip them with training weapons. However, there are only training axes, swords, and spears. Mace and hammer dwarves will have to use real weaponry. And during an ambush, it might be difficult to switch over to effective weapons. Therefore build your weapon stockpile close to the barracks.
- Equip them with armor, this lowers damage being received and allowing them to train with their armor.
Also note, healing injury caused by sparring is good experience for a new Template:L
