Who was the first female judoka? ...it would also be easier if the aikido/judo "who was first" were separate questions. Someone may well know very detailed information for one art, but little about the other. |

What is the best way to work with a partner who misunderstands the drill? The logic problem I'm referring to is finding "the best way" [your question, last sentence in OP] in the context of the question; Where you don't have the teacher/instructor coming over to sort it out. So my answer, on which we're commenting, is just a road map to make an action choice in the situation. |

What is the best way to work with a partner who misunderstands the drill? if my way is wrong, no of course it's not good for them. The original question presents a logic problem that I feel is not solvable in the context OP spelled out. |

What is the best way to work with a partner who misunderstands the drill? in the situation where I described 'doing it there way,' yes, certainly. In that situation, you clearly are not their teacher and should resist the urge to give instruction. To correct/teach them, I should be an instructor/teacher; If that were the case, this question is moot. |

Is it good to practise punching a wall? No place for punching bag ...perhaps "yield" should be expanded to make it clear that the mechanics and distance of punch are different on a target that yields. Punch a bag/body and the energy goes into the target, punch a wall and the energy stays in your fist. (?) |

What is the best way to work with a partner who misunderstands the drill? I believe the correct answer will depend on the way your school/teacher runs its classes. On the spectrum from "no talking; only the teacher gives instruction" to "chatty classes where every more-senior is supposed to help every more-junior"... where do the classes fall for this question? |

“Aikido is first and foremost BUDO” Does anyone have the direct translation of that Japanese quote? Would be good to edit that into this accepted answer. |
