Luis and Jiu-Fu Fighter,
Thank you for your replies. I recently attended a Tomiki(non-competition) style aikido school and another unnamed style dojo. I have a question that I was afraid to ask at the dojo. If anyone knows the answer please respond. When they practice, the uke (I think that's right) moves pretty slowly and I was wondering how that eventually gets translated into real time. Is that just a beginner's speed or do they practice that sooo much that eventually they can handle something faster? I do understand why the uke goes along with the throw. According to the instructor, if the uke was not properly trained on how to fall and go along with the throw, the uke could potentially break his/her wrist or get damaged otherwise.
Thanks
