Same here.

Another comment has to do with training versus teaching. I was at a seminar once where the shihan mentioned he was doiung quite a few things and the participants didn;t get to try them much before he went onto the next one. He said the seminar was for him to teach as much as he could for the group and it was up to the students to train later.
I would find this extremely frustrating. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't an oppertunity outside of class to train. While I'm in class, that's the training I get for the week. Granted I keep each technique in my head and review them each day, but without the chance to regularly put those techniques into the physical universe my training would suffer.

I hope that doesn't happen often! =)
