Umm.. Let me first say that I hope you are having fun doing whatever it is you are doing. It's always nice to have fun as long as you don't get hurt.
That being said, full contact fighting is nonsense. Total and complete nonsense. I never ever heard of full contact fighting where you don't hit anything vital. Isn't your body vital? Vital, as I understand it, is that which is required to survive. What part of you is not vital? Do you punch each other in the tonsils? The gall bladder? Your little toe? Sounds like limited targets.
I've been hitting objects, like people, for about 2 decades. If you hit people, they get hurt. If they don't get hurt, you're not doing it right. Free sparring can be fun and exciting. On a whole it is not often similar to a fight. When you spar your goal is to not injure your opponent. When you fight, your goal is to injure your opponent.
As far as chi punches... Please! What the heck is a chi punch? You're deluding yourself. I've met people who can hit you in your shoulder and make your whole damn body hurt. I've met people who can hit you and the ache keeps getting worse. I never met any people who can hit you and it knocks you over later.
Why are you studying whatever it is you are studying? It sounds from this post like you're studying so you can 'one up' the new guy in class. Perhaps you should rethink that. It's gonna get old soon.
