Re: Aikikai Aikido Academy
I may get roasted for this but....,
In my experience Japanese students are more willing to shut up and submit to the training process at the beginning levels. In general, they advance from the beginner level to the intermediate level, what John Stevens Sensei has called "knowing your right foot from your left" faster than your average westerner. If we think "shu ha ri" it is at the "ha" level where most Japanese get stuck.
