I agree and I don't know how I got there and am sorry about that.
That tape is a mixed blessing. It has increased the exposure of the Aikido world to the Tomiki style yet it has some major shortcomings. Frankly it gets my goat (and Don wasn't the first one to do it) when someone makes sweeping generalizations about a style ("Aikido ugly") after seeing one video produced by an outside organization. There is some good stuff in there but you have to know what, and what not, to look for.
