Re: Controling Yourself AKA be nice to your Uke!
Your first day on the mat...
...and every day thereafter.
One can develop very effective martial art technique without hurting a partner out of carelessness. Needs to be stressed from the beginning and throughout training by teachers and training partners.
Personally I find folks are most dangerous when they start to develop a little bit of technique/power, again around 1st kyu, and and while feeling their way through shodan.
