Getting On The Mat By MJS - Mon, 19 Feb 2007 13:51:15 GMT

=========

Now, anyone that teaches, obviously gets on the mat to do so. However, what I'm referring to is mixing it up with not only your students, but others as well. There are some clips floating around out in cyberspace of a 7th degree Kenpoist mixing it up with some people, who looking at them, appear to be at least half his age. Sparring, grappling and some good old contact, seem to be shown.

So my question is this: Is this something that you do? Is this something that you feel is important or are you happy to just teach and pass on your knowledge?

This thread is not intended to bash anyone or put anyone down, regardless of your answer. I'm just looking to see what everyones thoughts are. :ultracool

I'm 50 and I like to mix it up. To me, It's one of the best forms of practice. However, if you spar a student who is 20 years younger then you have to factor in the age advantage. It also depends on whether you are doing stand up or rolling. Height and weight factor apply also.
