Hi,
I'm planning on starting to take aikido. I've already sat in on a few classes, and talked to the sensei about what it is I'd be learning in the first month of class.
I was curious, what did some of you learn in the first month of class, and what did you feel as a beginner? In other words, was it difficult, frustrating, easy, and so on.

All I ever learned in mys first month of aikido lesson were the first two kata of the Tomiki 17 randori katas, and lots of breakfalls. Learning breakfalls is the most difficult and frustrating aspect of aikido IMO.
Now that I am a judo noob; I find again learning the ukemi is still the most difficult and frustrating aspect of the art.
Boon.
