To tell or not to tell that is the question.
I made a call for who to work with whom at the beginning of the class...yet it had to be changed because my assumption was wrong...I thought people who have done longer would be able to go along with the movements unless we did not go into too much details, Oh No...people get stuck with things they dont know as I do...my brain almost got panicked when I saw 2 guys' "??" faces with a technique they were not sure and another face which was ready to jump in to join... then I simply got stuck with a thought of "what is the points to tell??"
Of course, I do remember HOW MUCH (means A LOT!) took me to learn all the basic techniques on the list, it was when I was taught by teachers, there is no way for the others to get it in a second with my explanation!!
Anyway, lesson learned and we were happier after switching the groups ( I believe this assumption is right) ; )

To this, I can only say that it is always better to do than to tell. Aikido must be learned by the body, even if it is understood by the mind. Maybe the best way is just to show the gross movements with only minimal comments. Then the technique can be corrected in the repetition. what do you think?
