Re: Frustrated With Sensei's Behavior

I modestly suggest that you focus less on your sensei and more on Aikido. We are lucky for any private instruction from a gifted teacher and the modest remuneration we offer doesn't come close to paying for their time and expertise. There are probably others at your dojo who could work with your schedule to allow your study to advance as well as other dojos, tapes, websites, books. I'm sorry that I don't know your current level of expertise but I have found it very instructive to train alone as well as train with beginning students. Both inspire a freshness of thought. Of course, if you are ever in Philly you are welcome to join us at Aikikai of Philadelphia or Center City Aikido. Between the two dojos there are classes in all parts of the day seven days a week. Good luck.
