I'd expect upper grades would be more apt to compete. I know as soon as I felt like I's proficient at a technique, I'd like to test it to make sure it's(we're) martially effective.

So why don't you do sparring with people of other martial arts?
So why don't you take part in crossover seminars?
It's all there. Just do it.
