I used to be the only person who'd pair up with the rookie cop, because he had *no* conception of pulling his hits or going for technique over power.
And my suggestion for sparring with somebody half your age and twice your experience is to change arts, and hit them with something they're not expecting. You do Tae Kwon Do, right? That's a ranged standup art, so either switch to Muay Thai and put a hit *right through* his guard, or shoot in, take him down, and wrestle.

I suspect your instructor may not approve.
