Ashraf helping to teach Saymah & Eziel the arm roll.
In a judo club you have all kinds of players. Some players just want to train and have no interesting in teaching (or helping) others. Some would call them self-centred, others might view them as simply being very focused.
On the other extreme there are some players (including beginners) who simply love to teach others, to the point where they have no interest in training themselves. All they wanna do is "teach" others. I've met some like that at other clubs I've trained at. (There's nobody like that at our club, thank goodness).
Then there are the balanced ones. The one whose primary purpose is to train and become skilled judokas but who are always ready to lend a helping hand to their juniors when the coach is otherwise preoccupied. Such people embody the true spirit of judo.
Senpais are seniors who have more experience and knowledge than their kohai (juniors). I find it extremely helpful when a senpai is willing to put aside time to assist kohai learn some new things. This is something I encourage.
