Thanks for that. I still remember the Himeji session.
It does beg the question - is the transition of stance something that is planned in the curriculum or just comes naturally with the evolution of the practitioner.

I remember Himejo too. lots of fun. I especially remember the choking we did.
as for kamae, I think it naturally evolves from practice, but i had to think about it. If your kamae doesn't evolve you are not getting better, which is true about anything we practice in aikido. I am trying to think if i teach kamae differently to a junior and say a nidan. I don't really think i do, they just understand it at different levels and can copy at different levels. Since I don't, and i think most dont, have a separate way of teaching kamae to different level students, transition isn't because of the curriculum.
