training, instructors and > shodan

Hi everybody,

This question is more for the instructors and people having dan grade(s). When do the instructors train ? How do they work to improve their skills ? I mean, for example we have 3 times training per week, our inst. shows us the technique and walks in the class to correct our mistakes and it goes on like this. He does one -two jiu-waza and the training ends... I would like to know, what about you? Do you have different trainings, do you traing other days, etc? Is it enough to improve your aikido ?

And for dan people - non instr; I realized that they are more focused on being nage - instead of being uke in class. If there were people around, who are "good" ukes (flexible, artistic, perfect ukemiable ) and you would be always the nage- allowed to throw them, would your aikido be better than now or would you have any losts!!! I think you have understand what I mean
