Is it okay to ask higher belts to roll?

etiquetterolling

Traditionally, higher belts invite lower belts. But most modern gyms are relaxed about this. A polite "Would you like to roll?" is usually fine. Read the room - some black belts prefer to choose their partners. If someone declines, do not take it personally. They might be tired, injured, or working on something specific.
