Our main instructor had to cancel last night, so one of the senior students taught the class. I'd worked with this guy before. I train in aikido, by the way.
Usually, we do a lot of exercises and our main instructor doesn't really seem to care to connect it all together. We do learn a lot of stuff with him, but sometimes I wonder how it all fits. I've got to admit whatever he's doing, he knows what he's doing, because then we get to the more complex stuff and somehow, we know what to do by just putting all of these bits together and I kind of go: Oh, O.K., now I get it! But for long periods of time, we do these exercises and sometimes I have to wonder: What's this all about?
The other instructor, which I've had a chance to train with a lot in the past is a sandan and what he does is he'll just go right through the technique over and over again and he'll adjust the students as he goes along and by the time class is over, we've only gone through one thing, but we can do it...
