Re: rough start with Aikido lessons

"The only training is my patience and being their to 'support' someone else who has chosen to be with me."

And this might be the most important thing about training, particularly training for spiritual , rather than martial, reasons.

As has ben mentioned before, this method of training is the most common in aikido, and all of us were beginners and every bit as confused as you are now.

A mointh is not long enough to make a decision. Give yourself a year, and if you haven't learned anything by then, maybe it will be time tomove on.
