Re: Blind and doing Aikido.
Yann, I have practiced with 2 folks who are blind. Interestingly, both ended up training in more aikijujitsu schools, and I suspect that the staying connected with pins made more sense than throwing partners into space. One thing I learned right away the first time was to stay physically connected, otherwise a hand was going to come searching for me and it might just find my nose! In terms of teaching, think a kinesthesi...(I'm losing the spelling) versus visual learner. Partners can whisper what is being demonstrated.
