question 1:A great fighter or a great instructor capable of producing great fighters given the right students.?
by fighter i mean martial artist, fighter in the broadest sense, not just ring sport. or just ring sport really however you want to take it i guess.

Personally i respect a great instructor more though i have respect for both.

question 2: Does an instructor have to have fought in order to be a good instructor?

In my opinion no but it helps if he has had 1 or 2 fights either in the ring or in self defense in order to convey the reality of the situation in training.
