I'm sorry if i came across as chastising the guy, but it just sounded rather alien to me that a person that's training for a length of time could not do it and to top it off he said that "he sucked at it". I was like ...."Dang so what was he doing all the time ?"
So i guess it all boils down to the teacher that you come across huh ?

At the time I posted this thread, I had only about a year or so of training. Most of my instructors were sempais as Kyokushin is virtually nonexistent in my state. We were actually shown that by Shihan Farrell when he visited my instructor to see how he was doing.
I still don't do it perfectly, but I see guys in their dans who can't do it perfectly all the time either so if it was easy for you to pick up, you're pretty lucky.
