My first insight to aiki was Kanetsuka Sensei in the UK. Everyone tried to do it but only his #1 student at that time - Ezra Sensei - could do it. Have come across a few such people over the years. Or occasionally, someone does a technique on you and it works almost by accident ... and then you both struggle to recreate what the heck just happened :-)

Even on the technical part, many Japanese instructors tend to have a different opinion on what from their curriculum is to be taught, how and where. It seems ridiculous sometimes to see two different Aikido clubs, that are officially affiliated to the same head dojo, do a series of the more basic techniques quite differently. So it's no surprise that, especially in the Aiki/IP department, things come done to accidents. This is regarding the Aikikai instructors off course. Why do they do it like that, i have no idea.
