"What most of you need right now is experience and understanding. You may be at a high rank, but without experience in fighting, you would be unable to fully utilize your skills and techniques and reach your true potential. And it is only through continuous sparring that you learn more about your shortcomings as well. You can only identify your complete set of weaknesses if you place yourself in different kinds of situations. A single fight might tell you one weakness, but another might provide you with an entirely different one. Different people fight in different ways, and you need to learn to adapt to various situations."
The disciples nodded their heads again, as if they were saying they understood his words.
