Higher grades may not progress as quickly if they have to instruct instead of developing their own skills,
Overcrowding – difficulty with supervision and boredom, and
Too many beginners or lower grade students can reduce the development time of higher grade students and instructors.

Explain what is meant by stages of skill development

Skill Development – is the understanding and progression of an individual, by processing principles to create techniques.
The teacher’s objective in relation to skill development is to provide the student techniques to discover principles.
When the student learns to create technique from the principles this is the point where the student becomes a teacher.
Through correct teaching principles the student’s understanding can be accelerated to ultimately surpass the teacher.

White Belt - Learning uchi komi and lifting,
Yellow Belt - Completing the throwing technique,
Orange Belt - Randori, moving uchi komi,
Green Belt - Combination and counter throws,
Blue Belt - Throws from attacks, joint lock throws,
Purple Belt - Proficiency of above, and
Brown Belt - Teaching ability, finishing techniques added, adaptability and variety of grips and training drills.
