MatsuShinshii Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 No. We do not allow beginners to participate in Kumite until Rokkyu. Instead they participate in one point sparring drills, learn the bunkai and partner to practice this at slow to moderate speed until they develop control, distance management and timing. And as said previously, only with advanced students who have the skills to anticipate the twitchy, erratic and unpredictable actions of a novice. The beginner has no or little control. Never put a lower rank with a beginner unless you want that lower rank to get seriously hurt. The person who succeeds is not the one who holds back, fearing failure, nor the one who never fails-but the one who moves on in spite of failure. Charles R. Swindoll
