Hi Jun;

I've noticed enough exceptions that I really think it is an over generalization.

True, but one thing that low-ranked instructors (let's say, 4th dan and below) often have a harder time than those who are more experienced in the art in teaching aikido principles. From what I've seen, a lot of low-ranked teachers spend their time focusing only on the techniques without being able to neither explain nor demonstrate the principles that make the techniques work (as opposed to just showing the kihon movements).
