2) What is your view of a successful aikido practitioner?
3) What do you think is the most important aspect in aikido? Why?
4) What is it that you tend to emphasize when you teach aikido? Why?
5) How do you think that somebody that is just starting should approach aikido?
6) How important do you believe the philosophy of aikido is? Do you need to know it to further your training?
7) Do you believe that a student should train with an open mind? Why or why not?
8) When face with a situation, wherever it may be, how would a successful aikido practitioner handle it?
9) Have you ever tried any other type of martial art? If so, how would they differ from aikido? If not, how do you think they differ?
10) What was your view on aikido when you first started?
11) Has it changed? If so, how and why? If not, do you think it will if you keep training in aikido?

14) How would one go about in becoming a successful aikido practitioner?

Independent Component 2 Plan Approval
1) I plan on trying to control my ki. I will do this by training and also performing the different exercises that specifically help you control your ki.
2) Well it's basically just 30 hours of training, so I just have to put the time and effort into it.
3) Well it relates because one of the answers is to be able to control your ki. Plus with training it also helps me support another answer: to be able to move with precise footwork and positioning.

Independent Component 1
Google Docs Calender.
Evidence:
Journal entries for this Independent Component. Sorry that it's a little out of order, page 1 is just a brief summary of what I was going to do so I didn't think I had to add it in.
L:
I, Paul Navarro, affirm that I completed my independent component which represents 30 hours of work.
I complete 30 hours of training at my dojo which occurred every Saturday.
I:
There is much I have learned from the 38 hours of training that I have done. I have learned to slow down to make sure that you understand what it is that you are actually doing before you try and put speed into your techniques. Another thing is that you have to go in with the right mindset. You have to go there not expecting to be the absolute best, you have to go in thinking that you are going to have fun or just learn. Last thing that I learned is that teaching is the only way to get to know and be able to do the technique/material better. Not the only way but it is the best way.
A:
Well now that the 30 hours are over with I actually think that I have two more answer to my EQ. One of them being: to teach people. To become a successful aikido practitioner you have to teach people how to do aikido because then you'll actually learn and get to know it more. You retain about 95% of the technique if you teach it, so it just shows that this is a good way to become a successful aikido practitioner.
Another answer that I have come up with was having the right mindset. Because if you go into practice with the thought of you going to be good right off the bat, showing everybody how good you are, you are going to go nowhere. But if you go in with an open mind ready to learn then you will learn you'll actually tend to get the hang of it faster as well. That is why I thought that this would also be a good answer.
