I'm glad this topic was brought up because I have a related question. I personally prefer working both sides. It's just double the fun for me. My question is, why do we Aikidoka work both sides of a throwing technic yet when we pick up a jo or a boken and it's Kata is one sided? (Or do we work on the other side as we advance in rank?) I have thought of this in the past and have even played with the jo kata where at the end of the kata I begin it over again in mirror image. Not as easy as it sounds by the way.
