Yes, that's a basic rule. If you are trying out some new move and are totally retarded at it, don't go trying to work out its details against a 250 pound purple belt. Waste of time. Find a low level blue belt or high white, your size or smaller, and start from there.
This is particularly necessary for sweeps, most of which require such coordination and timing that there is no way you can succeed with them at first against advanced opponents. Start using them against small, less skilled opponents, then work your way up. Almost every sweep I use I initially thought was completely retarded and useless. Then I start getting it against small weak opponents. Then I get better and better, until I can use it against everyone.
