The best way, Jack. When I started in Japan, I wore white belt .. until the shihan strongly insisted that I start wearing my black belt that he assumed I had hidden away somewhere :-D

My aikido master taught us Iaido once a week and we did bokuto another day a week. This school does not do as much but there is often a class going on beside us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEi7d-q1Kz8

I was fortunate enough to be the class instructor in the absence of the head guy but I think if ever I were to attend a class in Japan, I'd gladly go in with an attitude of literally starting from fresh.

Actually we talked a lot about the relationship with Aikido now I remember in that we were taught to be circular in motion in regard to techniques where we needed to do a thing with our katana undrawn. We would often talk about Aikido and Jiu Jitsu but hardly ever Karate as it goes, but we had a relationship with the other two. I really miss my classes!
