Re: Training With Others

I have been thinking about something and wanted to get some others opinions.

Here is the scenario. You are training with another person. They don't really understand the technique you're working on, but you understand the technique. Sensei is busy working with others. Do you help them politely with the technique or wait for Sensei to help.

Since I am no aikido expert, I personally would wait for Sensei to come over and work with us, but that is just my opinion. Any thoughts?
Hi all. first post here. I just started training aikido last week..and one guy, another white belt, I was paired with started "teaching" me..except he didn't have a good handle on the technique himself a senior instructor stepped in and finally told him "stop talking and just do it". had the same guy last night. this time, being slightly more familiar with the waza we were working, I was actually assisting HIM with getting it right. it's my first aikido, but not my first MA training. It's obvious at my dojo who knows what they're doing, and I follow them, regardless of who I'm paired with.
