Now that I think about it, I probably misheard the trainer. (不好意思!) "Duanlian" seems to make a lot more sense than "duilian" ... I've updated this post accordingly. @Tae

Thanks for the comment! Now that I think about it, I probably misheard the trainer. (不好意思!) “Duanlian” seems to make a lot more sense than “duilian” … I’ve updated this post accordingly.

I've also experienced many situations that left me scratching my head in Beijing. However, in this situation, I think your trainer meant to say, "锻炼" - duànliàn, which means: to exercise; work out, etc.. Although sparring does sound more interesting... :) Bridget,

It's done in martial arts schools to simulate fights and for students to use the moves they've learned. Basically, you're practicing in case you do get in a fight. Sparring is practice fighting.
