Re: Inefficiencies in the Aikido Training Method
"Sure... quality is a subjective valuation. Whereas efficiency is directly measurable. "
Efficiencies to what end though?
Training with Mike Sigman, it was clear to me to what end based on the way he tested and evaluated. He also provided very direct feedback and methods that cut to a laser I thought on how you could get to that end.
Not to say it is not hard work, but I think the model and testing along the lines of what Mike proposed as far as IT is concerned is a VERY efficient model for that measure of quality as it relates to Aikido.
Albeit, it is but one part of the process, but what I personally consider to be a very important part.
But again, I certainly don't profess to put myself as judge over what it should or shouldn't be, or that Sigman's methods are the model of efficiency for everyone.
