Yesterday I got to teach. I was teaching n00bs so I tried to simplify things. For instance they were using their shoulders too much so I started teaching a variation of irimi nage which didn't use the shoulders. As in I chucked out half of the technique and stripped it down to essentials.
Then sensei insisted that I teach basics because what I was teaching was too advanced. Confusion reigned.
