Actually, they have you "help" and fall in class as well. I studied some Aikido overseas, and then went to a school here to try the school out. BIG difference. The U.S. school instructor actually reprimanded me (remember, this was an introductory class) for not falling when the guy did his move. Between that and what they called knife defense, that was the last time I even thought about Aikido.
