I doubt that anyone in one of Gabe's classes is a newbie. I just don't see him teaching a 101 basics class. Could be wrong, but just don't see it.
Define newbie. Just because someone attends a high profile training Class or shoots in matches does not always provide that they have learned or practiced to the point that they can even pass a simple evaluation. From their choice in equipment, self sweeping mistakes, finger issues, scores and temperament I have seen many that should give back the T-shirt.
Please understand that I am not talking about the curriculum or training talent but the absorption and commitment of the student.
