Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)
It is a bit like the story of the two year old being the most dangerous if only they had the strength to hold and shoot a firearm, the most dangerous karate-ka is the newbie.
In my early teaching days no one new to karate and the dojo was allowed to spar with anyone except me. It wasn't about ego but safety because newbie's have no concept of power so in their anxious effort to learn and progress they tend to let loose with no control and no restrictions on the power and force they can inadvertently apply so others yet to prepare and defend against such raw power often get injured.
Sensei: “He or she becomes a prisoner of responsibility, saddled with duties and decisions that bind them to those who depend on them.”
