>growth of people and societies is proportional to the number of difficult conversations they've had, either with themselves, others, or as a society So eloque

>growth of people and societies is proportional to the number of difficult conversations they've had, either with themselves, others, or as a society So eloquently stated. Undeniably true for an entire society to grow emotionally, spiritual and mentally. We need to elevate the entire society thus education both academia and emotion IQ needs to rise. Just look at the current state of affairs in this country; USA. The division is so very sadly clear. Stating facts is like explaining quantum mechanics to a 1st grader. Kool judo practice but little intimidating for lower belts or you all were equals? That makes more sense.

  I hear what you're saying but I feel differently. I've done Okinawan Shudokan as well as Judo/Jiu Jitsu/Kenpo/taekwondo with my fav being Shudokan being the purest and most spiritual of them all. I feel lower ranking to fight against much more experienced instill a sense of impending doom unless your confident level is so high, it can exceed fear. Now granted you need that fearlessness to be successful but I feel until you have grasped sensible baseline fundamentals and grow in confidence. I think it will work against them in learning. They would tend to spar more reserved and timid actions. Whenever I was challenged by lower rank. I was the one who got hurt the most because they tend not to have any control :) By the way, if you're sparring in a compassionate env is one thing but when your senior jams and/or breaks your fingers/toes and continuous unrelenting. Yeah, a little fear tends to creep in when you're sparring higher rank.
