Re: Training
Perhaps you could try to convince him of the importance of being uke in ones aikido development.
With being uke I do not only mean the falling part, but also the attack, and most importantly the receiving of the technique.
Being able to feel what tori is doing to your body will give you the hinds of what needs to be done when you are tori yourself.
You first need to be aware of what certain technique does to your body before you can apply it to someone else.
This will give you the opportunity to practise more being tori, and will hopefully help your friend with his aikido as well.
