An interesting idea that has been thrown around quite a bit (at least in my circles) is whether students of kung fu should be required to participate in fighting of some sort. I know many school dont do alot of fighting to begin with, but should a student (say an older female for instance) be allowed to start and train in kung fu, progress through to the level or ability of a teacher (sifu) without participating or training in fighting? Should a student be allowed to train and progress through your curriculum to black sash or the equivilent without doing fighting?
