Right now, at this moment, you should probably let the question go. You're getting ready for your test, it's not time to got changing things dramatically.

That said, I'm constantly trying to bring my feet closer together. Close feet are quick feet. Aikido is about movment, the ability to move quickly is essintial.

Most Aikidoka keep their feet too far apart. This gives stability, but takes away from foot speed, and your ability to change direction. Aikido is not goju ryu. It's not a system where we want to "stand and take it". It's a system where we want to move around the force and merge with it.

Close feet are good feet in my opinion.

oh, and good luck on your test!
