There is nothing wrong with getting comfortable with a set of techniques that work the best for you, because that is what you will use to defend yourself. There is no way you are going to be able to master all the various techniques in Aikdio and be able to use them all at will.

In Judo we learn all the techniques over time and need to demonstrate them for promotion but we are encouraged to develop a set of techniques that work best for you as an individual.
