I hate it when I'm caught dead in the middle of a technique...When I cannot complete a technique due to uke's resistance. Sure, I can switch to something different or try and best uke with speed but it just doesn't help me learn.
It's so frustrating and can be embarassing (when sensei walks around and sees me struggling and accomplishing nothing).
I hate it!!!
That being said, I love it when I'm caught dead in the middle of a technique. I love it when I cannot complete a technique due to uke's resistance.
I love getting caught and struggling to find the proper dynamic to complete the technique that sensei demonstrated.
I love that we have sempai in class that don't just fall for you.
It's such a gratifying feeling to overcome through solid aiki.
