Re: Do Senseis Usually Not Want Parents Around During Class?

I found it curious that both I in the adult class and my son in the young kids class are learning largely the same technique and in similar ways. I expected the kids class to be more kidsy.

(I'm not usually a sideline sensei, I think my instincts took over yesterday because of my son's uneasiness, his getting hurt without being corrected and the sensei's unusual attitude during class. After class, when I noted that he seemed frustrated during class, he just laughed at me.)

EDIT: Sensei demonstrated mae ukemi but for a beginner it can be very hard to really understand it. I still can't do it, for example.
