Re: Aikido 101

Yes, essentially that is it. and while maybe a little different perspective, this is the crux of the Internal Strength argument which is all about developing your structure.

The problem is, who really has the skill to assess and say what is and isn't wrong? I certainly don't have the complete picture, just see the problem.

There is also alot proprioceptively that we simply have to learn as well. This requires both solo work and paired practice with the proper control mechanisms in place.

This training would be much more slower and deliberate than maybe many of us would like (read boring and slow).

However, I agree with the Shugyo model above and that you can matrix your training so as you are hitting all the major areas and then spiral down to synthesis.
