Details:	A typical Aikido class consists of a teacher demonstrating techniques or principles which the students then practice. Training is done through mutual technique, where the focus is on entering and blending (harmonising) with the attack, rather than on meeting force with force. Uke, the receiver of the technique, usually initiates an attack against nage (also referred to as tori or shite depending on Aikido style), who neutralizes it with an aikido technique. The uke and the nage have equally important roles. Uke's role is to be honest and committed in attack, to use positioning to protect oneself, and to learn proper technique through the imbalanced feeling created by nage's technique. Nage's role is to blend with and neutralize uke's attack without leaving an opening to further attacks. Simultaneously nage will be studying how to create a feeling of being centered (on balance) and controlled in the application of the Aikido technique. Therefore, students must practice both positions in order to learn proper technique. When O-Sensei taught, all his students were uke until he deemed them knowledgeable enough of the technique to be nage. Movement, awareness, precision, distance and timing are all important to the execution of techniques as studentsâ€™ progress from rigidly defined exercises to more fluid and adaptable applications. Eventually, students take part in jiyu-waza (free technique) and/or randori, where the attacks are less predictable. Most schools employ training methods wherein uke actively attempts to employ counter-techniques, or kaeshi-waza. O-Sensei did not allow competition in training because some techniques were considered too dangerous and because he believed that competition did not develop good character in students. One of the first things taught to new students is how to fall. Both tumbling and later 'break-falls' are an important part of learning Aikido. This teaches participants how to avoid and minimize injury during class.
