I would agree with Ron.

Being a good Uke is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO important, and you learn so much from being one. You can't learn how to defeat a technique (or find it's weakness) unless you take a lot of ukemi from many different people.

A judo instructor once told me that you should always take the bottom when doing mat work (the bottom is usually the worst place to be).

He said "If you know the bottom, you will know the top, but if you only know the top, then you won't know the bottom".

Very Wise!
