ADVICE please

Technique/Tips

Hi guy, I do MT for about 2,5 years 3x a week, I’m not great at all but I’m the most advanced student in our gym, we spar every friday, there’s lot of newbies or people who comes once a month. I start light trying to show them how sparring should be - about technique. Most of the times those newbies go spar with me and go basically as hardest the can, swinging at me. Which of course I find disrespectful and I hit them back with same power - I never hit that hard to drop anyone - just see their opening and hit them. ALSO I do not get pissed at them when they hit me, that is on me, I just start smiling or tell them good job

PROBLEM: coach tell me immediately to slow down, because im on another level then them and I should just “tickle” them

I’m little confused because I would thought that he should be the one who tells them to go sparring respectfully with me, not light and afraid of me but just respectfully and not trying to knock me out because they see red when they got tapped jab

ALL OPINIONS WELCOMED, MAYBE I’M WRONG, I REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT EXPERIENCED PEOPLE THINK
