I totally agree with you. You can learn allot from teaching and I think everyone should do it. But most will just stay there and teach and never continue to excel their ability to fight. I personally don't care for the WEKAF fighting. When my friends, students and I stick fight, we only use a fencing mask, cup, and mouthpiece. And on some occasions we don’t wear anything but a mouth guard. Kind of like the dog brothers, except there is no rules, time limits or anything. We even do mass attack scenarios all out.
You got to love fighting
