As an instructor, I hone my skills much more on beginning students than senior students, because the beginners have no control whatsover, so you REALLY have to make sure you don't get hurt while not hurting them. It really takes your skills to the next level. That's why instrutctors often get tagged by students, because they are trying not to hurt them while holding back.

From a folk style wrestling perspective... A Good coach will be able to roll with a wrestler, who is inferior or less experienced, and pause or talk the wrestler through a move or a mistake they are making in real time. I had an assistant wrestling coach in high school who I would regularly wrestle with that would squash an attempt I was making at performing move or even setting up a move, but would then pause and place both of us back into the same position and work me through the move pointing out what I either did wrong or what I could do to be more effective. We would continue to go live from that point with me following his coaching and it pushed my improvement and eliminated the discouragement.

I completely agree. With weaker partners you have less pressure, you can experiment with different techniques and setups, you can try new stuff, unfamiliar tactics etc. You can also polish some of your other stuff, give yourself some challenges (tapout with armbar only, sack the guy using only three types of strikes in the entire round etc.). Basically, fighting with a weaker opponent teaches you new ways to fight, and fighting with a stronger teaches you to apply stuff that you already know under pressure. Thinking that you are gonna come into the gym and train until you can defeat That Guy and thinking that that is progression is stupidity stemming from martial arts movies. Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

And I completely disagree. What you need is someone better than you, just not someone who is *a lot* better than you. Someone who is just a step above, so you can learn whilst not being crushed. Maybe from an instructor's standpoint you need everyone in your gym, of course. But if you want to keep progressing, at some point you need to confront better opponents. Same goes for chess, as an example. If you only play against worst opponents, you do not learn anything. In fact you can actually regress and get worse, because you get too lazy in your own game. And his comparison between this an lifting weights is also not correct in my opinion. Because at some point you actually stop using lighter weights. If you can bench press 225 lbs and you want to progress higher, you do not do it pressing only 30 lbs for 200 reps. Lighter weights become a warmup, plain and simple.

In boxing I found that sparring tougher opponents often only has me focused on instincts and reflexes, rather than strategizing and reacting. Going hard helps explore the limit, akin to a 1 rep max, but being lighter and consistent is better as long as the skill gap isn't too big otherwise it becomes more teaching than sparring.

The best Muay Thai session I ever had was one where my sparring partners (3 in total) seemed to span the entire spectrum between them; the first one was clearly a newbie (unlike I, a newbie coasting on prior Karate experience!), so stiff and unsure was his movement. At one point, his eyes became fixed on my legs shortly after I started getting in some leg kicks, allowing me to land a head punch flush, but still controlled, mind you. The second one, a regular, I found to be a more even match. And so it follows, the third one - but for one or two clever feints on my part - thoroughly pasted me. I reckon such contrast is far more valuable and informative than a "winning/losing" streak. My only regret from that evening was being unable to inform the newbie exactly how I landed that punch. Someone needs to invent a gum shield you can talk through!😅

This is one of the reasons why MMA is better then any one style. If you train all ways, striking, ground, kicks, holds, throws, defensive strategies on the ground or standing and so on. Against all types of opponents, big, small, tough, weak, better, or worse. You'll have a ton of scenarios covered when it matters. It's just like sales. Ive been learning for over 20 years. I sell in all types of areas, to all types of people, multiple products and services. I still come across new scenarios to this day that I have to adjust for. I am only able to adjust on the spot because I have sold every type of person over the last 20 years. Practise turns mistakes into masterpieces.

I'm just a blue belt but this is so true - the first several months you are just practicing armbar defense, RNC defense, kimura defense, escaping side control and mount, usually to no avail. Once a new crop of less experienced guys come through, you can actually work offense! Moreover, as you develop an "A game", you have to go to that against tough opponents. Against worse opponents however, you can try new techniques which ultimately makes you better.

Your goal has to be to improve your wimpy opponent. This allows the creation of windows of opportunity to improve yourself. So, though our paths are quite dissimilar (mine is more in IT Business Process Modelling within ERP systems) , I fully agree. Whenever I had to train newbs or not as mentally privileged as myself, the outcome was always the same: I learned so much about my trade because I had to explain stuff from different angles or using other words as well as repetition, which in turn led to a deeper understanding of it and subsequently improved my own mastery.

There is also some weird phycology. If you win, you're more likely to continue winning, and vice versa. So putting yourself in a position to win will make you better. This applies to more than just martial arts. All the logical reasons here make sense, less pressure, easier to think while fighting which would help with technique. Another thing about those better than you. If you come out of a loss with nothing, you're not progressing while the person who is stronger improves. It only makes it harder to win. It's not like a video game where the boss stays the same and you only improve.

If you dont mind I would like to frame this in a different light, that of the supposed 'wimp'. I wrestled for many years, but because of my size to make varsity I had to wrestle up weight. It got to the point my whole gameplan was train with dudes who were larger than me. At tournaments however, due to Junior high and highschool regulations, I had to wrestle my weight class. It would result in me doing things to other people my size easier and being able to do more, than when having to wrestle someone larger than me. Its benifitial to BOTH PARTIES. You may not like it, but sparring with someone who is less skilled than you can result in both of you growing. For example. I was in the 100 pound weight bracket wrestling all the way up to 120. Mismatch in strength by a large margin. Whats 20 pounds but constantly getting dumped like an on again off again relationship. Come time for the GIT. Its the local tournament outside of Conference everyone from my area goes to. Wrestling other 100 pounders is much easier when you get used to having to move someone who is bigger than and stronger than you

Ramsey Dewey was double checking. I kinda came to this conclusion since I’ve only had my brothers to spar with since corona has kept everyone out of the gym. But felt like it was a stupid theory that I could be getting better fighting people with no technique but the way you say it makes so much sense

Now i am curious why 4 fingers and not use the thumb to grab the wrist from up and down?
@kristianjensen5877

Try grabbing your arm with the respective grips. Using a thumb grip the thumb can be exploited as a lever to force our thumb/wrist into some very painful positions. An "open" grip seems a lot less susceptible to this as our hand isn't "locked" into position by the thumb yet the grip is still pretty tight. So I guess it's to help avoiding injury without too much loss in effective performance.

Are you asking why you shouldn’t use thumb grips for a figure 4 wrist lock? Because the control of the grip comes from your wrists, not your fingers.

This is different I always think spar the better guy and get better and the more skilled sparing partner dosen't really learn anything

I don't know what the ratio should be but you definitely don't want to spar with people less experienced than you all the time. Youre going to face people who might be better than you in competition or in real life so it would be best to spar with the best of the best as often as you can but also just spar with everybody. If someone wants to spar? Spar.. no matter how good or bad they may seem to be because if you want to be a part of competitive combat sports you have to train yourself to be a warrior with honor

Besides sparing shouldn't always be a straight forward bout, you can have a plan. Say for example I might choose to spar with goal of learning a series of moves and my sparing partner will try to execute the attack or defense to those moves.

Someone with less experience might actually beat you sometimes too.. don't ever take your experience for granted. Styles make fights, and a difference in mentality can as well.

is this applicable for striking?
@kristianjensen5877

Yes, it's just as applicable for striking. Sparring against someone of lesser skill level allows you to focus a lot more on your form and noticing your own movement / execution than if you were sparring against an equal or better opponent.

Why in wrestling after the takedown they immediately give up their back and start ctawling on thier knees while a big sweaty opponent claimbs their back and tries to put their belly up I can't understand why is that if you have an answer

The objective of wrestling is to pin your opponent’s shoulders to the floor.

Something to do with armed and armoured fighting. Most wrestling around the world heavily forced on take down or throw your opponent on ground. In the old way of fighting in battle field, you fall on ground, you are died. Pin the shoulder down is likely related to fighting in armour.

@@RamseyDewey - and a damn sight cooler than sparring. Building a ship? You're gonna need sparring. Do want to roll with the jiu-jitsu gang? Rock and roll also rolls, due to swing. Rocking and rolling with the Jiu Jitsuz. Of course I thought that the practitioners were rolling all over the mats, I was thinking of aikido where some folk roll around a lot and it's a doggone funny thing to see.
