This reminds me of an uke I had at the New York Aikikai summer camp last month.

I'm not one to let the black belts get away from me. I make a point to work with as many of them as i can. But when i picked this one guy, he just gave me this look that said "I'm waaay to good for you"

One of the techniques we were working on, i was struggling with, he felt like he was resisting full force, physically trying to keep from performing technique. Finally I asked him if he had any advice for me. He didn't even reply, just sneered at me.

Finally I just got sick of him and told him I didn't want to practice with him anymore. This for some reason seemed to make him even more annoyed, as if i had just wasted 4 minutes of his life.

I've never experience anyone like this before. It was extremely aggravating.
Every night i secretly hope that someday when I'm a shihan, he will come to me for training, and i can say "well... I'll have to test your ukemi first" And then i can pound the attitude out of him ^_^

Feel free to ignore that final comment
