Re: If you could only teach one thing.
I agree with Nick. Ukemi is really all anyone needs to learn in aikido. It is the secret of all aikido technique. A good nage is also a good uke.
Pity, most people who learn aikido, only want to know how to throw people. But what they don't realise is that everything comes from mastery of ukemi.
So, I only do teach one thing - ukemi. Lots and lots of ukemi. As my teacher and his teacher before.
