One of the reasons that I joined Aikido was because of the loose hierarchy(sp?). In other martial arts that I have tried one of the biggest turn offs is when someone would go around with the atitude of "look at my ( fill in the blank) belt, all of you people under me have to listen to me. It was even worse when the sifu or sensei or whatever would condone and sanction that crap. In my aikido class there is none of that attitude. Its nice. And even at the start I knew who was better than me: everyone.
