Had my own martial arts school.

Obviously me, and any other black belt, has sparred with white belts and it's like a club tennis pro playing tennis with someone coming in for the first time ever to play tennis. The gulf between beginners and pros is massive.

That being said, I always had the imposter syndrome, and always felt like I was the exacts same level as when I was a white belt.

And yes, if you have great technique, you're going to wipe the floor with someone who is a lot bigger than you are.
