All the instructions I found on the Web start with the same 'position': the hakama is on the floor, it's just lying there and looks neat and nice.

So what happens when you see people packing their hakama in 5 minutes?

An interview with Katsuaki Asai 8th dan Hombu Aikikai

An interview with Asai Shihan.
One of my favourites to read.

[...]Foreigners tend to ask many questions compared to Japanese. What kind of explanations do you provide during class?

I give very little explanation in my dojo in Dusseldorf, except for the beginner’s class. However, I answer any questions as best I can. When I travel to other areas for seminars, I do give explanations because these people can only receive instruction from me two or three times a year. Also, I have my advanced students teach and tell them to teach beginners five minutes a week because they too were beginners at one time. However, I don’t have those with dan ranks walk around and teach.[...]

A lot to learn from:

The Art of Peace by O'Sensei

...quotations have been compiled from O-Sensei's collected talks, poems, and calligraphy, and from oral tradition.
