Re: "Learning Aikido by Watching Aikido Video"
Video is an excellent aid in learning Aikido. But starting from scratch you can not learn Aikido strictly from video - especially not if you are just watching and do not have a partner training with you.
Even in class with a teacher, so many people make the same mistakes or have the same problem. Without correction, the techniques will never be developed correctly. And you can forget about ever developing a real feel for blending.
I am glad that I have my videos to look at after classes or semianrs, etc. I can also get some ideas by watching other videos. But learn the intracies of a new style: no way.
