They were an excellent teacher and they had a couple of excellent demo models (4th and 2nd degree) but we never got to see that Master performing.. which was a real shame.
But then I've trained under at least two Masters that had incredible technique but were s**t at teaching...
Good words there, I've always thought sparring was the best learning method even if I've never done fullcontact in any class situation. But back to the should they still teach if they are physically ******** thing.. expaining what you are doing wrong can only go so far..the most fun I've ever had in MA and the best learning experiences I've ever had were sparring high degree blackbelts.. There's nothing quite like being thoroughly out classed to teach you a thing or three, be that actual fighting methods or humility. So if you can no longer spar doesn't like truncate a large part of what makes you a master?

My Zhoo Zhitzoo instructor has a rather s**t back, yet manages to pwn the s**t out of brown belts all the time. Which makes me laugh. He also like to leglock the s**t out of me.
