First of all, just because you are a good uke doesn't mean you will necessarily be a good shite (tori).I've worked with people whose uke is garbage and yet they expect their partners uke to be exceptional. This is merely ego and/or fear. Your job, if we can call it that, is to give yourself over to shite. Shite's job is to give uke the confidence that they will reciprocate in kind. "We will blend" as it were. And yet, just because you can flip well and your forward roll breakfalls make shite look terrific won't necessarily translate into you being a good shite.
