...all I can say is, thank goodness this won't be all the time. 
On Last Night's Menu:
Appetizer - Katadori Nikkyo (Suwari Waza)
Main Course - Katatedori Iriminage
Dessert - Katatedori Kokyunage
Each technique was broken down into about 3 to four parts from start to finish, and each of these parts were in turn broken down so that we (in pairs) could, perform them to a count of two or three.
PROS:
- It's easier for newbies to get the order of the footwork and other movements down, especially with a technique that is new to them.
- I'm guessing that it also makes it easier for Sensei to make (and for students to understand) corrections, especially as things happen.
CONS:
- Since everything was broken down into segments, it was far too easy to get into the habit of moving in a broken-down, segmented fashion, even after we had brought it all together and tried to do the techniques with continuity.
- Folks like me who love the feeling of flow and blending with dynamic energy hate all the starting and stopping. Things just feel stunted.
SWEAT FACTOR:
Minimal. I didn't really feel like I earned my drink afterwards. I'd rate it one and a half cups of water out of five.
