I personally dont agree with such a notion, although that's just my opinion its only equally (or possibly less) valid than the other opinions here. I think a sifu can understand a lot about the techniques in an art/system/etc and then teach them to someone who wants to fight. And by actual fighting, the student can test what his sifu taught him and eventually be a good fighter if he puts the work in (since, as someone mentioned before, a sifu's fighting ability and experience does not at all mean that his students can fight, otherwise it wouldn't even matter if Yip Man's students fought since most of us can safely conclude that YM at least used his art in combat)
