Thanks for the insight this evening, once I have started learning something new I tend to keep at it without much thought for anything else. when someone is on their arse it doesn't matter how high their mawashis are they are near enough at your mercy

. since I am well over twice the age of the young'uns and not that flexible, my karate veers towards gedan or chudan and therefore the sweep is very desirable, I will keep it to one side since it potentially can do great harm to fellow karateka friends.
