Although, I can see having an essay to see how well they have incorporated aikido into their own life or how well they understand aikido, but not whether they are good grammaticians or good expository writers.

Isn't this a contradiction? Isn't writing about Aikido's effect on one's life expository?

Either way, if your instructor has solid grammatical skills, it's a gift that he/she chooses to guide you in that fashion also...Even though grammatics was never the topic.

If one doesn't want grammatics as part of the syllabus, then one should not continue in the school that includes it.
