A text by the highly skilled aikidoka and teacher S.Stenudd -

How many need to throw themselves around you for you to be actually skilled in Aikido?

[Trick]

. 41
The superior student listens to the Way
And follows it closely.
The average student listens to the Way
And follows some and some not.
The lesser student listens to the Way
And laughs out loud.
If there were no laughter it would not be the Way.
