I recently surfed through the online poll archive and found an interesting one. It asked how many techniques do you perform in a one hour class. I was surprised to see the majority was in the 4 - 5 range. I though this was a bit low myself. I'm just used to a more uptempo class with an average of about 15 techniques per class and switching partners twice for every technique.  I'm interested in other thoughts and ideas on this. What does everybody else do and what do you think is better (or if it matters at all)? |
When I teach a two hour class, we'll do maybe up to 5-6 techniques. When Saotome runs a seminar, he'll switch techniques so fast I ask my partners to do each one two times instead of four so we both have a chance to try things. He has ragged on me on occasion for being preoccupied with learning technique rather than principle so I guess that's the reason he buzzes through techniques like that.
