This is almost embarrassing but I think it is helpful for a judge to have fought, though not necessary. Even doing a boxing workout and learning the mechanics of punches and defense gives you a new perspective. I'll tell you this, after years of gym sparring, fighting in front of people was a completely different experience. I respect every four round fighter who climbs through the ropes.
Training people of different abilities to fight adversity, complacency, and, most of all, limits!
