So many of the exercises I have done in Aikido I could say this same thing about.

Okay, I'll admit it, at least some of the time when I do these long drills it's because I'm annoyed with a consistent mistake that everyone in class is making.
I always wonder who I'm annoyed with, though. If all the students in the class are making the same mistake, it probably means I've made a mistake in my teaching...
