Who believes it is good to spare against people of higher rank and why? What are some of the benefits that come from it and when you do is it like a real sparring match or is it light contact?
What? You mean there is a place where lower rank belts DON'T spar higher rank ones?
Of coures one should spar higher rank belts.
1) This benefits the higher rank belt as they can concentrate on their more difficult techniques or combinations they want to practice on.
2) It benefits the lower rank for having a harder challenge.
3) It benefits the higher rank as they can slow down a little and work on control.
4) It again benefits the lower rank as it forces them to think faster.
It's mostly light contact. Then ONLY time it has any real contact is when the instructor feels the lower rank student needs an attitude adjustment.

And for fun, don't forget fun. I'm just a beginner, but I would feel coddled and insulted if the higher belts held back on me.
