I've heard many times over the years that there's a saying in Japanese that translates something like, "half of learning is teaching."
I get quite a bit of feedback from students that begin to teach others that this sentiment seems to come true for them.
I certainly have learned and continue to learn about aikido and many other things from my teaching.
I have also learned that part of the responsibility that goes along with moving up the rank scale is teaching and being an example for your juniors.
