Re: aikido throws

When you want to learn to play basketball, what do you do?

Do you go join a professional basketball team and play against michael jordan? Of course not, you'd get your ass stomped into the pavement.

No, you practice! frequently in a CONTROLLED ENVIROMENT (eg, taking shots at the hoop in your driveway, practice dribbling etc)

Then you move on to playing games with people your own skill level or people who are a bit better than you. You start learning from others and keep drilling those basics (passes, shots, more complex dribbling etc)

Once this becomes engrained in you, then you can challenge michael jordan. And I can guarentee you, EVERY proffesional basketball player out there, no matter how many years they've been playing, STILL practices all their moves in controlled enviroments when they practice.
