Hi Andrew,
"Saku- when I take ukemi I try to follow, for my own safety and
because it's the best way to learn, and because I won't have the
opportunity to reverse techniques if I don't follow."
Yes, You know that, I know that... but the average Joe on the street probably does not. To be able to perform aikido SAFELY against an attacker who does not know how to protect him/herself is the challenge, don't you think?
BR,
Saku
