If the athlete enjoys the movements, is receiving benefits and not inducing injury sure. On the other hand if the athlete seems to be inflicting damage and is spending too much time attempting to learn the skill-set the answer is no.

IMO, the answer would be depends on the teacher/coach first. If they (the coach) can effectively teach the skill, effectively place the skill and progress the skill as needed, then that is most key to success. Otherwise, they must have better options.
